Northern California Junior College Conference

The Northern California Junior College Conference (NCJCC) was an intercollegiate athletic conference with member schools located mostly in California. The conference was founded in 1922 as the California Coast Conference (CCC) and initially had both junior college (two-year) and four-year college members. The California Coast Conference was formed at a meeting held in Fresno, California on May 12 and May 13, 1922. The conference's eight charter members were divided into two groups. The northern group consisted of Chico State College—now known as California State University, Chico, San Jose State Teachers College—now known as San Jose State University, Modesto Junior College, and the College of the Pacific—now known as the University of the Pacific. The southern group included Fresno State College—now known as California State University, Fresno, Loyola College of Los Angeles—now known as Loyola Marymount University, Santa Barbara State College—now known as University of California, Santa Barbara, and California Polytechnic Institute—now known as California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. Schedules were drawn up for competition in four sports: football, basketball, baseball, and track and field.^[1][2] Southern Oregon Normal School—now known as Southern Oregon University—joined the conference in 1929, but withdrew after the football season that fall.^[3][4]

California Coast Conference

Founded	1922
Ceased	1950

In 1930, the conference was reorganized as the Northern California Junior College Conference.^[5] In 1950, the conference was split into three new conferences: the Big Seven Conference, the Coast Conference, and the Golden Valley Conference.^[6]

All of the two-year schools that were in the conference are now members of a conference within the California Community College Athletic Association (3C2A). Of the four-year schools, Fresno State, San Jose State, Chico State, Pacific left the conference and joined the Far Western Conference. Cal Poly did not become a four-year school until 1941, and played as an independent after leaving the CCC. Loyola joined the West Coast Conference, while Santa Barbara State joined the California Collegiate Athletic Association.
