Might be some movement for NJCAA Arizona schools could go 4 year and join NAIA in the future. 4 JC schools in the Phoenix Valley area have recommended that the football programs should be cut. Scottsdale, Mesa, Phoenix and Glendale.

This could mean that Arizona Western, Pima and Eastern Arizona could go NAIA. Could be a nice NAIA conference forming in Arizona and New Mexico.

Pima
Eastern Arizona
Arizona Western
Arizona Christian
Ottawa
Dine
Navajo Tech
New Mexico Military going from JC to 4 year.

Arizona only have 7 football schools at the JC level. 1 at NAIA. 1 not listed yet. 1 adding sports. 1 in New Mexico adding sports. 1 New Mexico Military school could help bridge the gap between Arizona to Texas and Oklahoma schools.

Stop the fantasy. Absolutely nothing in the article mentions schools being transformed into a 4-year and joining NAIA.

This is only talks and speculations what is going to happen to the 3 Arizona JC football schools. My friends who lives in the area of Yuma and mainly in Parker with a AW campus in Parker have been talking for awhile what they heard about Arizona Western be turning into a 4 year college. These friends are my former classmates in elementary school in Parker. So, you are trying to tell me as a complete stranger that Arizona Western not going to 4 year, but my friends from Parker are saying that there are talks? I will take the words from my friends than over you any day.

No, there are no talks of turning the JC's into 4-year colleges. There may be some that want it, but it is just that.

Yuma HAS a four-year college that shares a campus with Arizona Western - NAU-Yuma. The State neither has the inclination nor the funding to start an athletic program at NAU-Yuma, just like there are no athletic programs at UA-Cochise, or ASU-West.

So take the word of a NAU alum, who lives in Arizona. Or don't. You live in your own world, since you refuse to believe people that LIVE in Grand Junction that Colorado-Mesa is not moving, has no desire to move, and never will move to DI.
