One of the newest rumored additions to the American Athletic Conference could significantly help the rest of the league's men's basketball programs.
On Tuesday, multiple outlets reported that Wichita State was set to join the AAC as a basketball-only member for the 2017-18 season, a move that had been speculated for several weeks. And considering what both sides of this transaction are looking for, it's a no-brainer.
The move out of the Missouri Valley Conference could help the Shockers -- along with the rest of the AAC's teams, like SMU -- receive more favorable seeds in future NCAA tournaments.
