  • So volleyball and softball only get 4 years of this deal?

    I guess that sets all the teams up for the same time the next go around.

          In addition to the 13 sports listed in the quote (which are all of WSU's NCAA sports), I'm guessing they will also be supplying gear for bowling and crew to get to that 15 varsity sports number.

                Track counts for six sports (three seasons, both genders). Golf refers to two. Everything else is listed.
                78-65

                  I wasn't thinking that about them dividing track and field into two seasons, but that probably is what accounts for the 15 sport total, not bowling and crew.

                      No. I don't see the Shocks adding any additional sports until they are well established in the AAC and even then there needs to be a very good reason to add sports that require funding over and above any revenue they might generate. That just siphons money away from what makes or breaks Wichita State sports and that is Men's Basketball.

                                If they can generate a profit there is a good possibility. If not, then you can add them to this list:



                                I think those crew teams were a club sport but they may have been a club independent of Wichita State. I don't recall for sure.
