Gonzaga President and Xavier President make bet on big game

Gonzaga University President Thayne McCulloh and Xavier University President Rev. Michael Graham, S.J., both have a lot resting on the upcoming NCAA game Saturday.

But, on top of the fact that each President wants their school to win the big game, they’ve made a friendly bet about the outcome.

According to an article published on the Gonzaga News website, if Xavier loses, Fr. Mike Graham will deliver a shipment of “Cincinnati’s world-famous Graeter’s ‘French Pot’ Ice cream” to President McCulloh. And if Gonzga loses, President McChulloh will send him “three cases of Washington state’s finest wines.”

According to the article, Gonzaga and Xavier are the only two Jesuit universities remaining in the tournament. The winner will advance to the Final Four.
