So there's a report that they were mentioned in a discussion. I'm not getting to excited about this just yet.

Hmmm? They join the AAC for basketball only? I wonder how WSU nonrevenue sports are going to feel about being orphans, with no friends and no one to play with? No way the MVC will let the other sports stay, and apparently the AAC members don't want to send their minor sports to Wichita.

Interesting article given that it is from a real basketball reporter. But it's still a big 'meh' to me until a lot more things happen. Difficult to tell from realignment articles if people actually mean "basketball only" or just "not football."

Totally dubious article. The story basically says "During expansion talks, AAC officials mentioned that Wichita State would be a good school to get."

You don't say.

Basketball only generally just refers to Olympics sports and no football. No one discusses moves based on track.

FB was a tool to get into a better conference, increase exposure, drive enrollment etc. Costs were pretty insane, so getting into a better conference without football will be even better. They can always look into football in the future.

They were/are. And having as many discussions as possible with other leagues. Who knows where any of those items intersected/diverged. If football isn't required to change leagues, I would be surprised to see it added. But I'm just along for the ride. It may still be extremely likely that WSU doesn't add football and stays in the Valley. But today is one of the first times there has been something reported by a halfway legitimate reporter, supposedly with non-condemning sources from somewhere other than WSU.
