Among its member schools were: * Santa Clara University * Cal Poly SLO * Cal State Northridge * California Lutheran University * Sacramento State * Southern Utah * 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. He then became a founder and commissioner of American West Conference. The WFC folded in part because of a new NCAA rule that prohibited member institutions who competed at the Division I (D-I) level in other sports to compete at the Division II (D-II) level in football. Of the eight member schools: *Four (Cal Poly SLO, Sacramento State, Southern Utah, and Portland State) are currently members of the Division I FCS Big Sky Conference. *One (California Lutheran) is a member of the Division III Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC). *And three have dropped football as a varsity sport - Cal Poly Pomona in 1983, Santa Clara in 1993, and Cal State Northridge in 2001 (following a brief stint in the Big Sky). In all other sports, Cal Poly Pomona is currently a member of the Division II California Collegiate Athletic Association, Santa Clara is a member of the Division I West Coast Conference, and Cal State Northridge is a member of the Division I Big West Conference.
