Grand Canyon joining the MW this season

I don't understand why the WAC isn't suing GCU?

In basketball they have made 4 of the last 5 NCAA tournaments. They lost most everybody last year, but have built such a quality program and may win the conference in year 1. I think they were already paying players directly as a for profit institution. They have 100,000 students (counting online). Doing a side by side comparison, they are everything Wyoming isn't -- huge enrollment, urban environment, lots of sunshine, for profit, rapidly moving up in the modern world of college athletics (UW is some beaucracy that is unwilling to make any sort of change). They appear to be doing everything UW isn't.

I’m glad Wyoming has no desire (I hope) to become a diploma mill personally.

Hey! That’s not fair. Wyoming has lots of sunshine.

They were already going to be out of the WAC this season. Unitl they got the official word that they could join the MW this year they were planning on playing an independent schedule.

Yes - if anyone might sue GCU, seems to be the West Coast Conference. They committed to join starting July 2025 and then backed out.
