Really not a big deal. Villanova plays most of their home games in 6500 seat Finneran Pavilion with several highlight (TV) stops at 19,500 seat Wells Fargo Center which is about 20 miles from the Main Line campus. The GVSU Arena seats 4200 and the campus is about 14 miles from the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids which seats 10,000+ so pretty much a comparable situation.

I kinda wonder if the wrestling expansion might come with basketball arena upgrades at the same time.

I'm not sure why you feel the need to denigrate college students starting their careers in journalism, first of all. Second of all, the original comment had nothing to do with the "student run rag." It was a quote from a now-current GVSU football player to a recruiting website.

The insanity is that we are all focused on the reporting of the student run rag. LOL.. will GVSU move up...yea I think when the GLIAC inplodes or before GVSU will be in good shape ready to make a move...is that this year or next or? Worse things can happen by rushing into something even worse so I think GVSU is just taking a smart approach. As for stadium we had 17,000 in there a few times...its doable. Bleacher the north end zone grass area and contect the ends on the south and you are close...hell EMU and many of the MACs are lucky to get 10k in for a game...GVSU would be fine. The better question is what happens to the GLIAC if and when GVSU pulls up the anchor. Anchor up will be interesting.

Now, it's entirely possible that when they were told that, that was indeed the plan. There are always external circumstances that could change that, though. So maybe it's no longer the plan. Maybe it is. Something tells me they're waiting for something else to fall into place. What that is, though, is unknown.

Recruits were told that we COULD or MIGHT be going D1 and to be prepared for that as a possible outcome...not that we absolutely were.
My hunch is that the silence is the word for now. I'm good with that...going to OVC would have been going from one tough situation to one that is arguably worse...why spend the $ to be D1 for that?

Years and years of speculation, telling recruits last year that they are going D1, recent Horizon and OVC rumors, watching USI, Lindenwood and Queens all declare D1. Just seems odd to have so much speculation surrounding the school, but no official word.
