I would actually be surprised if the number is over 1000. I expect the majority who will want to travel are students. GCU's spring break isn't until 2 weeks after the WACt, which makes me wonder if many students will find themselves in midterms.

If GCU does turn out high numbers, I definitely don't expect it to be on Day 1. Perhaps the blessing of being within driving distance of Vegas is people can be to Vegas in 4 hours. While I expect there to be a lot of excitement in this first year, the future curse may be that people wait and see if GCU survives the First Round (and maybe Second Round) before committing to jump in the car.
