The '''West Coast Conference (WCC)''' is a NCAA Division I (non-football) sports conference, headquartered in the Bay Area suburb of San Bruno, [[California]].

The WCC consists of ten members, all of which are private, faith-based (or historically faith-based) universities. Of the ten, seven are affiliated with various orders of the [[Roman Catholic Church]] (Gonzaga, Loyola Marymount, San Francisco, and Santa Clara with the [[Jesuit]]s, Saint Mary's with the De La Salle Brothers, Portland with the Congregation of the Holy Cross, and San Diego with the local diocese), while the remaining three are affiliated with [[Protestant]] denominations ([[Brigham Young University|Brigham Young]] with the [[Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints]], [[Pepperdine University|Pepperdine]] with the [[Churches of Christ]], and Pacific with historical ties to the [[United Methodist Church]] though no longer financially supported by them).

The conference does not sponsor football; only two schools participate in the sport (Brigham Young as a FBS Independent and San Diego with the FCS Pioneer Football League). It is considered a "mid-major" basketball powerhouse: San Francisco won repeat titles in the 1950's with Bill Russell while in recent times Gonzaga has become a basketball power and Saint Mary's its closest rival.
