BREAKING: The WCC is expected to add Grand Canyon and Seattle, source told @TheFieldOf68.

Grand Canyon is a layup for WCC while Seattle needs to step up its resources to be competitive.

Interesting decision. I like the GCU add, Seattle not so much.

The same. GCU would be a good addition for that conference.

Love the GCU add. Seattle will find their way to the bottom half though.

Hope it works out for them better than the Pacific addition.

Surprising that they went with Seattle instead of Denver

I believe Seattle is a historically religious school? Same with GCU. Denver is

Denver is operated by the Methodist Church like Pacific

Okay. I didn’t know that. Denver would be a good add for them.

GCU is a hysterically religious school.

Seattle was previously in the WCC.

tough news for UVU, SUU, and UTU.Takes the WAC basketball teams down to 8 total.

Don't be surprised if UVU moves soon too. Big Sky most probable.

SUU should have never left the big sky

Big sky members all have football or are football only. They don't have any

Good choices for WCC. Seatle is Jesuit Catholic. GCU is unique for-profit Protestant/Christian. Both nice fits for WCC.

Yep. Good fit for Seattle U in the WCC where it was previously a member.

Smart adds for the WCC.

This was discussed a lot for Seattle U about the time that BYU originally

good question, maybe it is a sign Zags are leaving. Bringing one team into WCC

More likely folks just passing conjecture as fact. 🙂

Wow. What a garbage conference. Glad that’s in the rear view mirror.

I know this is your shtick, but last I checked GCU advanced further in the NCAA

Disliking universities that are sued for fraud is not a shtick. And the WCC sucks. I will not apologize.

TCuz

May 10, 11:10am

I don’t often agree with TCuz, but when I do, it’s about GCU.

Personal experience with GCU?

WCC was a much better fit for BYU than I anticipated. I loved the

Yep, WCC was a great step up from the MWC for BYU and it's greater institutional purpose. Better basketball also.

Huh, Seattle maybe, but a brand new for-profit weirdness in AZ? Don't get it.

GCU will be one of the three toughest venues in the WCC... fantastic environment

BerkeleyCoug

It'll definitely give the WCC a third muscle in that conference.

For everyone saying Seattle is a bad add, they’ve had good recent success.

Seattle was in the WCC previously. Seattle made final 4 in 1958
