Wichita State University
I. Executive Summary
A. Proposed Project
The organization in this proposal is Wichita State University. WSU is a NCAA Division I
athletic program with eight sports that does not include football. WSU was previously a member
of the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) and changed to the American Athletic Conference
(AAC) in 2017 (AP, 2017). The intended out come is to pick one of the Power Five conferences
to join. The two realistic conferences for WSU to move to the Power Five would be Big 12 or
Pac-12. The Big 12 would be a more favorable member because they do not have as many
members and the travel expense would appear to be less.

for athletic aid for men and women was over $3.8 million. The biggest expense in the operating
budget was men’s basketball game day expenses at over $1.8 million. The revenue and expenses

Tournaments and reached the Final Four in 2013” (AP, 2017). The university has double the size
of their campus in the last four years with anticipation of increased enrollment (WSU, 2020).
The continued growth of the athletic programs and the growth of the university puts WSU in a
healthy financial position.
