College Athletics: WAC adds Seattle University

Seven months after undergoing its first round of expansion, the Western Athletic Conference chose to add one more school to its footprint Wednesday afternoon. WAC commissioner Karl Benson announced Seattle University accepted an invitation to join the conference beginning July 1, 2012.

The Redhawks' inclusion now brings WAC membership up to nine schools as of the turn of the 2012 school year, but only seven football-playing members (Idaho, Louisiana Tech, New Mexico State, San Jose State, Texas State, UTSA and Utah State).

Seattle University was picked in front of Cal State Bakersfield and Utah Valley University.
