Contents

Originally an independent, San Jose State first joined a conference in 1922 when it joined the California Coast Conference. That conference only lasted three years, so the team became independent again in 1925. They joined the Far Western Conference in 1929. San Jose State became independent for the third time in 1935, before becoming a charter member of the California Collegiate Athletic Association in 1939. When the NCAA first started classification in 1937, San Jose State was part of the NCAA College Division (Small College). They became independent for the fourth time in 1950, also moving to the NCAA University Division (Major College) that year. They stayed independent until becoming a charter member of the Pacific Coast Athletic Association (PCAA) in 1969. The conference was renamed the Big West Conference in 1988. San Jose State later moved to the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) in 1996 and Mountain West Conference (MW) in 2013.
