Rumor is Grand Canyon…

GCU is in talks with the MWC to join.

GCU is supposed to join the west coast conference for 2025 but with Gonzaga leaving it changes the allure.
 
Whatever. It's bball. No one really cares about it in the context of conferences. As long as they don't get much money from the pot
 
From a selfish point of view, I hope they do join. I would be able to watch them play in my hometown every year. That basketball arena is crazy! It is sold out for every game. I don’t disagree with you on the academics of the school though.
 
Grand Canyon - recently fined $38 million by Department of Ed for lying to students about costs and job prospects with a degree from there. What a great partner to associate our programs at Wyoming with.
 
Wyoming now in a conference with a diploma mill. 🤮 Sad day for ‘college’ athletics.

Just more proof that college football and men's basketball are now professional sporting leagues.

GCU is doing the bare minimum to meet the definition of a "college" in order to participate in and reap the financial benefits of college sports. Can't say I blame them. It's been the unspoken truth for most major college athletics programs for the past 3-4 decades.
 
Where do you think they'll rank in the new mwc? I'm guessing pretty high.
Probably. Their business model is to create a flashy facade to market themselves to folks willing to acquire loans to buy largely worthless degrees.

Now we have equal voting rights (except football) to this ‘school’ who now has a direct say in decisions impacting Wyoming (which I’ve actually always believed to be centered around the core value of providing students a worthwhile and affordable education).
