Pacific

Pacific, by itself, can refer to one of two schools:

• University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, a major program and member of the Big West Conference
• Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon, a small college and member of the Northwest Conference

Normally, our policy on this sort of disambiguation would allow Pacific (CA) to simply be referred to as Pacific, as it is an NCAA Division I school while Pacific (OR) is in NCAA Division III. Because both competed in early NAIA tournaments, however, we've decided to force the disambiguation across the board.
