Granted, that isn’t a fixed existence. But last week, the Phoenix metro area was packed with NCAA events.

Jon Wilner The San Jose Mercury News We’ll pause from reporting on the eye-opening developments across college football to offer a truly insane piece of news: Phoenix has become a college sports town.• Arizona State hosted a softball Super Regional that began Friday.

• And in the just-completed NCAA women’s golf championships at Grayhawk, Stanford defeated Oregon to secure the conference’s 200th national title. • Even the NFL has taken the plunge, awarding three consecutive Super Bowls to the region: SoFi Stadium last season, Phoenix State Farm Stadium next season and Allegiant Stadium in 2024.

“And when you consider Phoenix and Las Vegas have incredibly fast-growing populations, it makes sense that the NCAA would want to be involved.” With the booming population and improved coaching at the high school level, blue-chip prospects are commonplace and blue blood programs are frequent visitors.
