GVSU benefited from a perfect storm of great press, an influx of a ton of cash from Meijer, DeVos, and other GR $$, and inept vision/leadership by WMU during the early 2000's. Add the national attention for football, and they did a great job of marketing. WMU got lazy with their marketing efforts, and quite frankly took GR for granted.

Once they grew a lot, they raised their entrance standards and created a demand for their product. Is their degree worth more than WMU? Absolutely not. Outside of teaching, none of their programs stack up to WMU. That said, their gains came at the expense of WMU. This nonsense that WMU is touting that they aren't our competitor is going to make the problem worse, not better. WMU admissions/enrollment/administration better WAKE UP. GVSU has been handing us our ass for over a decade.
