    WSU was added to the AAC in part because it didn't have football. I'm not sure there is ever a contingency plan for WSU adding football because that means the conference would have to split up more money to the pie and I'm not sure the AAC is that much into expansion.

    The reason we even had a chance to join the AAC is because we don't have football.

      I wonder how much we will be able to get from CBS to add to that 2.? million.

        Starting football without full funding in this day and age and no recruitment ground or foundation to build around would hurt more then help the brand that we have built and are building

            I heard that Wichita University would have gotten more money than Wichita State Universiry.

                    The football schools are getting $7M.

                    Wichita is getting substantially less.

                    Leaving looks worse every single day. The TV situation is pretty much exactly the same. The at large chances aren't any better. They've exponentially increased travel costs.

                      2M is nothing? Make sure you tell that to the athletic department.
                      Name the last time an MVC game was on CBS? The TV deals are not even CLOSE to the same.
                      At 19-14 we safely made the NIT. 19-14 in the MVC and we would have been laughed at for postseason. Not to mention a 24-win Drake team who shared the conference title with Loyola didn't get an NIT bid.

                      Ask Marshall which scenario he prefers. It's not even close.

                      This was just jealous Valley fan being jealous.

                      I believe the MVC Championship game was on CBS like it has been in the past, but no regular season games.

                      Good call WstateU. That's correct. Regular season is where I was going for.

                      If football is truly off the table (and as much as I love football it probably should be for us), then we need to replace the existing seating at Cessna Stadium and turn it into a first class track and field facility. Could take down and replace one side at a time if necessary.

                      It was never “Wichita University” in the first place.

                        Wichita State was never Wichita University, but it was the University of Wichita. Just like all those schools above are all actually “University of...”.

                        I get it and agree, it’s like the Univeristy of Kansas is known as KU. I can’t imagine WU Shock being UW Shock.

                      Now that's the definition of butt hurt LOL.

                      Of course, UNI is gonna get plucked by the MWC soon so we should hold back.. LMFAO

                        I don't understand why the AAC will implode. Seems to me like a 10 year agreement for football is pretty good.

                        I have always believed that the Big 12 is the conference that will implode.

                        They will get plucked by the Bigger boys and teams in the AAC wont be as attracted to fill in the gaps left by the Texas schools, OU and KU.

                        Iowa St, KSU, WV and OSU may as well join the AAC....

                        The threat to the AAC at this point isn’t that the more attractive candidates get invited to a P5, it’s that the bigger brands in the B12 depart for greener pastures and the balance of the B12 leftovers join forces with the top brands of the AAC to create a new “power” conference. It would certainly be the weakest “power” conference, but it wouldn’t be the AAC or the MWC either.

                      Not having to play schools like Drake and Northern Iowa every night far outweigh the opportunity cost for having to compete more fiercely for a conference title.

                        Imagine if the AAC did implode, and then WSU joined the BE!

                        How triggered would MVC fan be?
