Western Athletic Conference

From BR Bullpen

The WAC is the sixth oldest among the nation’s 11 Division I-A conferences. Its history traces back to July 27, 1962, when the original six-team league of Arizona, Arizona State, Brigham Young, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming began competition. Arizona State claimed the league’s first NCAA title when the Sun Devils won the College World Series trophy. Hawaii is the longest tenured current member, having joined in 1979 (Fresno State is second, only joining in 1992).

Presently, the WAC crowns team and individual champions in 19 sports – eight men’s and 11 women’s. The WAC covers a broad expanse of the western United States, with member institutions located in California, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah.
