I'm sure Gonzaga would take that offer in a heartbeat. 03-lmfao

I don't know...... I've heard ITT Tech is pretty good too.

I suspect you are correct...maybe as a compromise, the MWC takes both?

That's a fair compromise. We shouldn't leave out the University of Phoenix though.

But, the MW presidents would never go for it.

When was the last time academics mattered in the MWC?

GCU has zero NCAA appearances, and has not proven its ability to sustain through multiple coaching changes. There is also the suspicion that most of the budget is Majarle's salary. They have not recruited the sort of athlete that would make a difference at the major level. This is simply the on court.

Off court there are too many issues about the school. This is not one the Presidents of MWC schools want to associate with.

Now there is one school MWC ADs have talked openly about adding as a non-Football member, Brigham Young. It's there should they get tired of the WCC and it's rinky dink gyms.

Doubt it. BYU is now with all like-minded institutions. And you do know the WCC and its rinky dink gyms sent a member to the national championship game, right?

Plus St Mary's to the 2nd round of the tournament.

Didn't say I expect it to happen. Just said that is the mindset of MWC.

BTW if SDSU loses football, they wont be kicked out of the MWC. They are too valuable in other sports, especially Basketball

Grand Canyon is bringing Utah Valley with them?

Of course they do. They're a for-profit Christian bookstore. They take people's money and email them a voucher for "Get one degree".

Disgusting that your lust for a non-California school in the Big West would overwhelm your sense of decency to even consider that stinkpot.

Maybe we can help by sending them Wazzu.
