Pacific Coast Conference
The Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) was a collegiate athletic conference in the United States which existed from 1915 to 1959. Though the Pac-12 Conference claims the PCC's history as part of its own, with eight of the ten PCC members (including all four original PCC charter members) in the Pac-12 for many years, the older league had a completely different charter and was disbanded in 1959 due to a major crisis and scandal.
Established on December 2, 1915, its four charter members were the University of California (now University of California, Berkeley), the University of Washington, the University of Oregon, and Oregon Agricultural College (now Oregon State University).

The Pacific Coast Conference was formed during the annual meeting of the Northwest Conference on December 2, 1915, at the Imperial Hotel in Portland, Oregon.
During these sessions the University of California sought to join with the six Northwest schools. The Golden Bears had recently returned to the American game after a decade playing rugby and hoped to expand their competition in football. Their 1915 team had scheduled and played two games versus Washington one month earlier.
Also at issue was the Freshman Rule, which barred first-year students from athletic eligibility. California had adopted the rule while their tradition rival Stanford had not, disrupting their annual competition. In the Northwest, Washington supported adopting the Freshman Rule while Idaho and Whitman, with much smaller student bodies, required freshmen to fill out their teams.
After long discussion, California's proposal to join with the Northwest Conference schools was turned down and the Northwest Conference retained freshman eligibility.
Late that evening, Washington and California's representatives held a meeting with Oregon in order to persuade them into a scheduling agreement between the three large state universities, adopting the Freshman Rule. Oregon agreed, on the condition that the Oregon Agricultural College was admitted as well. OAC agreed, on the condition that the Washington Agricultural College would be admitted if and when they later applied.
