Quote:Aresco said WSU has delivered exactly the boost to the American that he was hoping.

The Shockers sold out all nine of their home AAC games and led the conference in average home attendance at 10,787 (counting the Intrust Bank Arena game). Their impact was also felt around the conference when WSU traveled on the road, as attendance rose an average of 28 percent when the home team played WSU.

“What Wichita State has done, and I admire it to no end, I think the community and the team deserve a lot of credit for becoming a national brand,” Aresco said. “What Wichita has done is remarkable and we’re proud to have them in the conference and they’ve elevated the conference as we knew they would.”
