Wichita State was unanimously approved as the newest member of the American Athletic Conference.
It will benefit the conference in some sports, most notably men's basketball and baseball but shouldn't make that much of an impact from a women's basketball standpoint.
Wichita State did win 29 games during the 2013-14 season but the program is coming off of back to back losing seasons. It obviously will result in a change in a scheduling grid since another team is being added to the equation. If logic is utilized, you would think Wichita State would get to host UConn during the upcoming season to provide a jolt to the attendance although it should be noted that Wichita State averaged 2,085 fans last season and the Shockers do return leading scorer and rebounder Rangie Bessard.
