The next league games are Wednesday when Bradley hosts SIU and all ten MVC teams play
one side note...
quietly - a relatively new DI team - just starting to play as DI in 2013 having made the jump from NAIA to DII then DI,
Grand Canyon University coached by ex-NBAer Dan Majerle has run up a record of 12-2...(they have four players who shoot 44% or better from the arc,
and they run an NBA-type offense, take good shots and average 79 points per game on offense!)
They have wins over San Diego State, Houston, Marshall, CMU...and are playing pretty well.
They are part of the WAC and have already played in the post-season (the CIT) in both of their years thus far in DI - BUT...
but they are still not eligible for the NCAA post-season tournament until they have completed their 4-year transitional period - thus they will become NCAA eligible in 2017-18.
BUT - there is a little of an uproar...
unlike the vast majority of both public & private universities & colleges, Grand Canyon is a FOR PROFIT UNIVERSITY - and some think education should not be marketed as a commodity for profit, and are especially opposed to letting these guys into NCAA Division I.
