RE: How do you feel about WAC FCS football?

Where does GCU go from here with basketball? Hope they become the second mid major program ever to do what Gonzaga does while they are in the WAC for the long term?
Football can do what Liberty is doing, buy your way to relevance nationally. Liberty is doing it with football where exposure is bigger and conference affiliation isn't needed if you have money. If that's not GCUs priority in athletics, and it's fine if it isn't, then I wouldn't start football. But if I was in charge or a GCU fan I'd want them to try and be the next BYU or even more. Scheduling wouldn't be hard either.
Football doesn't mean giving up on basketball either. Liberty, who has next to no bball history, is building a brand new arena
GCU would like to be like Gonzaga. Liberty would like to be like BYU. It would make more sense for GCU to use their resources to build themselves into an Olympic sports power. It is feasible and it would cost a lot less. GCU won this year's men's soccer tournament, they played in the WAC championship game in basketball last season and they have won two straight regular season titles in baseball. Football is expensive and not easy to win at. With the Arizona Cardinals and Arizona State, does the area really need another football team?
