The Santa Clara Broncos football team represented Santa Clara University located in Santa Clara, California. The team competed in the NCAA Division II as a Division II Independent football program. The school's first football team was fielded in 1896. Santa Clara participated in football from 1896-1992, compiling an all-time record of 352–244–28.[1] At the conclusion of the 1992 season, the Santa Clara football program was discontinued, due to new NCAA regulations which mandated all sports be played at the same level at each university. Santa Clara had fielded all Division I teams with the exception of the Division II football team, and elected not to field a team at the Division I-AA level.[2]
