Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 4538960, member: 7748"] A conversation between the Antelope AD and a power 5 conference would be very interesting. As you know Grand Canyon is a Christian college and a number of the staff within and without of the athletic department are there for the Christian environment. I may have shared the first time that I attended a Grand Canyon game the national anthem was played 10 minutes before the tip. Before tip off the president of the student body came to Center Court and led a prayer. Ingrained in the culture there is religion. So the Grand Canyon AD might be well suited for Baylor or another power five School with that kind of institutional framework. I'm not sure how many power five jobs would fall into a category that would be of interest to the AD. That said the AD is leading a tremendous effort to showcase women's basketball. The experience in West Phoenix is much closer to what the kitties present in McKale rather than the really woeful disappointment that's called staging women's basketball at Desert Financial.Arena. Tomorrow my birthday I'm reconsidering my tradition of driving down the I 17 to watch the Devil's lose to the Buffs. In past years celebrating my birthday watching the Devils has always been wonderful. One of my fondest memories was 2019 when ASU stormed back from an 18-point deficit in the fourth quarter led by Robbi "Buckets" Ryan and Courtney Ekmark to achieve a 60-58 miracle win over Utah by outscoring the Utes 22-3 in the 4th. The Devils trailed the entire game until with 36 seconds left the miracle happened. One of those memorable moments when CTT' defense was matched by an incredible offensive performance. One of the best birthday presents I've ever received.(my have times changed!) Grand Canyon is playing the 18th, I may well forego the Sun Devils in favor of a really rousing, passionate, fun experience on the west side. [/QUOTE]
