The WFC folded after 1992, in part because of a new NCAA rule that prohibited member institutions who competed at the NCAA Division I level in other sports to compete at the NCAA Division II level in football. Four WFC members (Cal State Northridge, Sacramento State, Cal Poly, and Southern Utah) joined UC Davis as charter members of the NCAA Division I American West Conference in 1993.
