This is a really helpful post! The minor-league and college stadium relationships are interesting..

GCU looks so flush with cash....surprised they aren't pushing football already.
Overall, I think the MWC has better facilities, by the BWC scenery is going to be missed (CP, UCSB and UCSD are tough road trips to beat).

Grand Canyon spent over $1 billion to build 10 new athletics facilities not so long ago. — yolohw

It's amazing how the Good Lord can motivate His followers to dig deep into their pocketbooks and spend their money! :halo: :lol:

They have a public prayer before each athletic contest also.

I grew up in a small town in Indiana and the Catholic kids went to their own school through the 8th grade and then they attended the only high school in town with everyone. They had the biggest and most ornate church in the town and it all seemed shrouded in mystery to me as a kid.

In basketball, they always crossed themselves whenever they shot FT's and, when we would play them in middle school basketball, I always thought they had an unfair advantage shooting FT's because they had the Lord on their side! :rofl:

They had some very good players and they were tough at the middle school level but, once they started attending the only high school in the town, they just blended in with the rest of us and didn't seem to have a heavenly advantage anymore! They even quit crossing themselves when they shot FT's. Probably because they didn't have a nun with ruler to whack them for breaking any of their catholic school rules anymore. :lol:
