However, things have become worse for Chicago State. I'd be shocked if they were in the WAC after the 2017-2018 school year.

The state budget crisis and sharp enrollment decrease at Chicago State has been documented. The school is barely staying alive.

I came across another message board thread discussing the Chicago State situation:

They are doing well to offer classes at this point. They have no business trying to run a Division I athletic program.

Thanks for that. It's amazing they still offer sports at all with their entire existence in stake
