I know it's Vegas, but... if GCU was going to play in any tournament I would want to them play in the CIT, one more shot to win it before they play in the NCAA tournament next season

I would also be fine, if they said no and moved on to next season. I could see Majerle wanting to do this, but I think GCU's president would not turn down a chance to host a game or two in GCU arena. Or, maybe he's tired of paying the fee... Who knows really. Can't wait till next November!

Vegas 16 definitely has the potential to be and I think they will get there soon enough. They need to focus almost soley on western schools right now.

This year, invite:
(Presumably all schools in conference with better records will get NCAA/NIT bid)

2 P12:
Utah
Washington State
Arizona State
Colorado
Stanford

And the rest pull a mix of:
BYU
San Francisco
Santa Clara
UC-Davis/UC-Irvine
Anyone in MWC but AF or UNLV (unless you really dont care about team quality and go for UNLV)
NMSU/CSUB
Seattle U
Utah Valley
Eastern WA
Weber St
Idaho
Montana
Montana State
Portland State
Denver


Get fans there, get the tournament looking better and making more money, and you have something
