3) Headaches is having a school not in compliance with the WAC, school itself has no business being D1 as it sits right now, Chicago States brand not only makes the them look bad but it has hampered schools to join the WAC b/c of how many problems they have. I'd say that is headache quality.

Please produce your source that shows that having Chicago State “has hampered schools to join the WAC”.

Btw, every school is a flight risk. All want out of the WAC.

Not a fair question. No school that turns down a WAC offer is going to state on the record that Chicago State's membership in the conference had an impact on their decision. But anyone who follows conference realignment knows that key considerations for most schools evaluating a move include the geographic proximity and institutional compatibility of other schools in the destination conference. When it comes to WAC recruitment of new members in the western U.S., Chicago State is an impediment with respect to both of these factors.
