"Abilene Christian, Lamar, Sam Houston State and Stephen F Austin begins play in the WAC next school year."
The conference will definitely be an improvement, but I don't see a multiple bid WAC.
You can't see Chicago State getting an at-large bid?

I can't see Chicago State with a conference for a few years.
With New Mexico State Grand Canyon Cal Baptist and now Stephen F Austin the WAC has a nice upper tier core of schools. I don't know if I see multiple bids in the conference's future but if that core 4 plays at their best and the rest of the league isn't too bad I suppose it could be possible. It's nice to see other leagues building so that more strong basketball schools coalesce together. I hope that trend continues at our level because that will help us fight the bigger conferences for the last few at large bids. EDIT: I made a glaring omission in not including Abeline Christian among those schools that are strong for WAC basketball.

ACU lost their coach, and I wouldn't include them as 'strong' traditionally. They had a few good years, but that is not commonplace for ACU.
ACU is still relatively new to Division 1, so their history at D-1 has a small sample size, but they will bring a better profile to the WAC than Chicago St. ever did for any conference it has been a part of.
Basketball is a cool game, cooler than soccer for many. I used to love running basketball 10 years ago too, but today I'm more on PS4/5 https://www.playstation.com/ (https://www.playstation.com/en-au/games/nba-2k20/)en-au (https://betpokies.com)/games/nba-2k20/ (https://www.playstation.com/en-au/games/nba-2k20/)

No way. I'm not a fan :) Some I like, some I don't.
