Every school in the WCC has a religious affiliation. I don’t see that working culturally.

I thought Pacific might be the exception but Wikipedia says they are Methodist. So you're right.  The others are all Catholic except for Pepperdine, whose affiliation is with the Church of Christ.

I don't think Stanford fits in a church league.
