GCU's battle with ASU's President Crow
It seems GCU has decided to no longer stay quiet while Michael Crow throws out false statements about GCU. Personally, I think a response was way overdue and I welcome President Mueller's letter. Below is part of his opening statement:

"We have the utmost respect for ASU, its academic programs, professors, coaches and students. My two oldest sons, as well as hundreds of GCU employees, graduated from ASU and had good experiences. However, we will not tolerate these repeated public attacks from ASU’s president that are insulting to the reputation of our institution and the tremendous accomplishments of our students, faculty, staff and alumni."

He goes on to specifically mention the public attacks and debunk each and everyone of them. Near the end he writes the following paragraph:

"While we will continue to take the high road after such inflammatory remarks, we will obviously not allow ASU’s president to dictate where our university fits in the higher education landscape. These repeated disparaging and inaccurate comments leave us no choice but to speak out, set the record straight and defend our university, our students and our alumni. It’s not good for Arizona, where the number of private higher education opportunities pales in comparison to other states, and we will be
reaching out to state officials to intervene and, hopefully, finally put a stop to this. It has gone on too long
."

I agree. It has gone on too long!

I have some words for Mr. Crow, unfortunately they would not only violate the terms of service for these boards, they also would not be very representative of me as a person or GCU.

Yes, that would be poetic justice. Of course, even better would be seeing GCU continually make the NCAA tournament while ASU continues to have a losing record in both football and men's basketball.

NCAA has a nack for trying to pitch schools against each other who don't like each other. best example on the west coast is UW-Gonzaga.
