Unreferenced date December 2006 The Western Football Conference was an NCAA Division II NCAA Division II scholarship awarding football conference that existed from 1982 to 1993. Among its member schools were Santa Clara University Cal Poly SLO California State University, Northridge Cal State Northridge California Lutheran University California State University, Sacramento Sacramento State Southern Utah University Southern Utah Portland State University Portland State Cal Poly Pomona Its founding, and only commissioner was Vic Buccola who had been the Athletic Director at Cal Poly from 1973 to 1981.
