RE: Latest on Chicago State's Pursuit for League Membership

It’s already been previously reported that the Cougars have had an invitation from the Horizon League for their tennis programs — which pending BoT approval will be accepted. Additionally, their soccer programs are also being considered by the Horizon League.
Also, the MEAC has reportedly offered associate membership in any sports the conference offers which would include: XC (m&w), TF (m&w), basketball (m&w), volleyball, and men’s golf.
Annual membership fee is $35k.. and again, it’s merely an associate offer so nothing permanent. If so, they’d have a home for all sports next year except women’s golf.
The BoT isn’t scheduled to meet again until December
Are you sure about Basketball? I didn't know the NCAA allowed associates in that sport. I thought it is THE core sport. Belonging to a conference in that sport means you are a full member.
Of course Chicago State was a "full member" of the WAC but under contract rather than equity partner. So who knows?
Anyone know anything about associates in M& W Basketball?
