  • Grand Canyon

    I know this might be old but I heard that Grand Canyon wanted in the Summit League but they were voted down. Does anybody know if this is true? I haven't followed it too much but I think they would be a good add.

    That would be a brutal travel schedule.

      It reasonable to assume this why they may have been turned down. GCU came to Frost via a guarantee paid by SDSU.

        it would be most brutal on them, and they still wanted in.The Summit's not in any position to turn down good candidates, and I got a place in Pheonix, no, just a trailer, would love to go to a Jacks game while down there....Snowbirds vote yes!

        I'll bet it's the one's who have really tight budgets, so I guess I can understand their votes.

          Cutting out WIU and PFW and adding NMSU, UVU and GCU would be doable.

                  So part of the problem with Grand Canyon in the past was that they were a for-profit school. Schools like Arizona State decided not to schedule them because of this https://www.azcentral.com/story/spor...sity/97949082/
                  When I living in Colorado it sounded like the University of Denver was against playing them as well. Hovever, Grand Canyon is back to non profit status https://www.insidehighered.com/news/...d-go-nonprofit and the Summit should consider them for sure. I think the WAC is pretty happy to have them as they draw amazing wild crowds to their mens games.
