Yup. They spend a lot marketing in the area as well. Lots of billboards etc. in PHX. A decade ago maybe, former Sun Dan Majerle was hired as HC to transition GCU to D-1 in hoops....a local "name" hire to get Suns fans on-side. They've had some success, winning the conference autobid and going to the NCAA a few times. Though, lately GCU success in the WAC seems to coincide with the demise of NM State hoops.
The Majerle thing ended acrimoniously and GCU hired former Vandy coach, Bryce Drew. Brother of Scott Drew and famous for the Valparaiso buzzer beater in the NCAA tournament many years ago.
So, on the one hand, GCU is spending money and making moves but, on the other hand, still an underwhelming addition to this sports fan.

Just answering the burro’s question.
FYI for our FuboTV subscribers - they're in a lawsuit with Warner and do not have any of their channels (TBS, TNT, Tru, etc.). This also makes that service useless for the NCAA Basketball Tournament.
Games will also stream on HBO Max for those that have it.
This will only help with less ESPN + games.
Bravo Yormark.

In fairness to that argument, it is true that the top 8 in the SEC standings have combined for 1 non-conference loss - which was aTm losing by 10 in August to a Notre Dame squad that is in the top 10.
Agree with what you are trying to portray but how many FCS teams are included in those wins?
Unless I missed a game, the best non-conference wins for the top half of the SEC:
1. Georgia over Clemson in Atlanta.
2. Texas over Michigan in Ann Arbor.
3. Alabama over Wisconsin in Madison.
4. Tennessee over NC State in Charlotte.
All four were blowout wins, but outside of Clemson, we are talking three fringe bowl teams.
I will give Georgia the benefit of the doubt in regards to schedule, but not so much anyone else.

Mercer is no joke.
Streaming customers should always be free agents..... always.
And for Texas, their best conference win is Vanderbilt lol.
The ACC rivalry games will matter a ton this year. It may be what determines whether the ACC gets 1 or 2 teams in. Certainly the Clemson-Cocks game has implications.
Unless ND loses a game or the committee bumps IU down far enough after tOSU thumps them the ACC is not getting 2 teams in, and the SEC isn't getting more than 4 because there's simply not enough slots.
What are the SEC’s options? Pounding the table for 5 autobids every year? Removal of conference championship games? Closing off the CFP to non-P2 programs?
None of those are realistic.
None of those are realistic.
In the short term the most likely is to try and eliminate the 5th auto bid. But we all know it'll eventually go to 14 or 16 teams
Not realistic but it won’t stop them from whining about every single year

I thought there were proposals floated that the CFP next year would be guaranteed 4 each B1G/SEC, +3 next highest conference champs, + 1 at-large.
First of all they should STFU till they play 9 in conference games each season.
100%. If I was in control of the committee, I would have dropped Alabama by 5 or more slots for one week, just to send a message to the SEC that they better stop scheduling late season D-II opponents.
There was a 14 team proposal that had 3 guaranteed spots for the B1G and SEC and 2 guaranteed for each the Big 12 and ACC. It also guaranteed ND a spot if they finished top 14. I don't think this one was very well received if I recall correctly
Also, to be fair - they were marquee when scheduled.
Much like UT - Michigan and Oklahoma were supposed to be good. And they blew out the second best team in the MWC.

If it stays chalk, the four from the B1G seem safe, then 4 other conf. champs, plus ND, plus the SEC CCG loser leaves really 2 spots up for grabs.
I think 11-2 SMU or 11-2 Miami would deserved to be in the discussion, but probably won't be; 10-2 Clemson coming off of a win over South Carolina would deserve to be in the bubble discussion; but unfortunately it probably just comes down to which 2 SEC teams get those last two slots.
The Big12 is going to have to pay a fee to Coach Prime and the Buffs for propping it up on the Football side of things
