190 as of today. The pace seems to have slowed a little. Can they pick up 10 more by the end of the year?
Starting 2013 off holding steady at 189. No winners. New pool?

Right about the breakout (up to 193 as of today), wrong about end of January. Will they hit 200 by end of February?

So close yet so far. Up to 194 as of today, but still short of the magic 200 mark. Will June be the month?
RE: GCU Has >133 BBB Complaints - Winston Smith - 08-07-2013
Back up to 196 as we head into August. Look for them to break 200 when school starts in the Fall and the new students start complaining.
RE: GCU Has >133 BBB Complaints - Herbert Spencer - 08-10-2013
Heads up! Today's total: 198

J A C K P O T !
Looks like GCU hit the magic 200 mark on August 12, 2013.
Congratulations to both GCU and NCACS for making a mockery of the notion that regional accreditation is in any way a measure of quality.
Chad Curtis, Tim Salmon and Cody Ransom notwithstanding, anybody thinking of going on the hook to this place for some serious money really ought to think again.
As a general rule we don't care if people make money or not with their little business projects, but when they are ripping off their paying customers to the tune of 200 BBB complaints in only three years you have to wonder if their hearts are in the right place. The alleged "Christian" aspect of this school seems to be getting overshadowed by a highly predatory "for profit" ethic.

Published August 17, 2013 /

Former major league outfielder [and Grand Canyon University alum] Chad Curtis has been found guilty on charges that he inappropriately touched teenage girls.
A jury in Michigan's Barry County returned its verdict Friday. Curtis faces up to 15 years in prison. Sentencing will come at a later date.
The 44-year-old Curtis was convicted of six counts of criminal sexual conduct.
Prosecutors say he touched girls between the ages of 13 and 16 last year when he was a volunteer weight-room strength trainer at an area high school.
The jury heard from three of victims who took the stand Tuesday. One victim claimed during Labor Day 2011 Curtis pushed up her shirt and sports bra, kissed her breast, and then put his hand under her spandex and on her genitals, WoodTV.com reported.
"I was scared. I was petrified. All of a sudden he was pulling my shorts off," the victim said.
Another victim said Curtis touched her inappropriately during a physical therapy session, WoodsTV.com reported.
"I trusted Mr. Curtis, I didn't know he would do something like that," she said.
Between 1992 and 2001, Curtis played for the then-California Angels, Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers, Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees and Texas Rangers. He won two World Series rings with the Yankees.
Defense lawyer David Dodge had said Curtis denied any criminal wrongdoing.
