Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 3744814, member: 652"] Gonzaga has taken advantage of being the best school out west. While recruiting Canada, getting high Major transfers and kids out West that want a winning program. The Pac-12 hasn’t been like the Big Ten, Big XII, and ACC. So it has allowed Gonzaga to grow and get all the coverage out west. Plus they got a great coach. He has built a machine. Their conference isn’t good so it allows them to schedule hard nonconference schedules and not worry about getting healthy in conference play. If Gonzaga played in a harder conference they would be good but they wouldn’t win it every year. St. Mary’s and BYU are the only consistent winners in that conference. That 1999 run allowed the program to build an empire. It’s like UNLV under Shark. [/QUOTE]
