Guilford has money issues. They start the season with 8 out of 9 games on the road. Maybe the floor of their gym is being rewaxed, but that's a strange way to open the season.

Their President resigned about a year ago because they had built new facilities while enrollment was dropping. The interim President recommended dropping many majors and subject areas. The students and some alumni objected and enough money was raised/pledged to stave off the cuts.

Guilford was great in NAIA from the mid-'60s through the late '70s. They won the NAIA in '73 and went to the Tournament in Kansas City several times. They had 4 alumni play in the NBA: Bob Kauffman, ML Carr, Greg Jackson, and World B. Free.

Guilford reached a fork in the road and opted to move to NCAA division III. They couldn't compete in basketball for 2 decades, but started winning again in the '00s.

50 years ago, if you had asked most fans which private school would move to NCAA DI, most fans would have said Guilford, not Elon, High Point, Campbell, or Gardner Webb.
