Re: Proposed Group of 5 Playoff

Yes. As a land-grant and Ag-focused G5, there is no reason to self-demote. We already get demoted enough. But, I would not mind seeing something more than table scraps being set aside for a G5 representative in a 12 team playoff. The separation that we see is on-going right in front of us. It is ha...

Re: NAR: Seattle and Grand Canyon are part of the WCC

GCU is the Boise of basketball right now. They are having a great run. It will end at some point. A very shortsighted pick up for the MW if they did.
