With the 2012 reorganization of the WAC, several member schools were to add men's and women's soccer for 2014, but this has not occurred as rapidly as planned. Texas–Pan American never added men's soccer before the 2015 merger with Texas–Brownsville that formed UTRGV (Texas Rio Grande Valley), which plays its first season in 2015. Chicago State's first season is now scheduled for 2016.
