Effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the WAC postponed sports through the calendar year on August 13, 2020.
On November 4, 2020, the NCAA approved moving fall championships to the spring.
San Jose State announced that they will not have fans at home games.[2]
Teams
A total of 11 teams are due to take part in the conference this season.
Changes from last season
The 2019 season was the last for both CSU Bakersfield and Kansas City as WAC members. On July 1, 2020, CSU Bakersfield joined the Big West Conference and Kansas City returned to the Summit League after a seven-year absence.
The WAC added a new member, as Dixie State joined from the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. They will be ineligible for the postseason until the 2024–25 season, as they will complete the four-year reclassification process.[3]
