Chicago State has had it with the WAC

Chicago State leaving the WAC. Said they had assurance when they joined that the WAC was going to develop a "hub" in the Midwest. The WAC's recent expansion into Texas has shown they are going a different way.

No word on if the school is closing...
 
The WAC was a marriage of convenience, the conference of last resort after the Great West was sorted. I still think it is, but the schools that WANTED to join do provide something of a purpose. IOW no other Midwest D-2 schools were that desperate to jump.

Also, that statement is great excusery for a school that needs to publicize this just to prove to their students that they have an athletic program. Frankly, if the school remains open, they need to drop a division or two anyway.
