Help! Sports schools in the west?

<p>Hey everyone!</p>

<p>Im new to this site, but Ive just started my college search and I though you’all could help me.</p>

<p>I’m really looking for a school with a big time sports program. When a fall football Saturday comes along, I want the town to rise and come alive in their school’s colors.</p>

<p>I really want to stay on the west coast… I live in Arizona. My dream school is USC, and Washington is also on my list.</p>

<p>So I really want a big time sports school, but also with a solid academic reputation. </p>

<p>I don’t know, I guess I just have a certain vision for the school that I want to go to . I like traditional campuses, and where everyone in the town loves the school and the sports teams.</p>

<p>I’m a huge sports guy.. if you cant tell…… and I need a school where others share my passion.</p>

<p>So I guess Im just asking for some suggestions…</p>

<p>Im a pretty smart student… 3.98 weighted GPA … 1910 Sat ( 1290) 28 act</p>

<p>Right now my list is USC and Washington</p>

<p>Im open to schools in California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado… and other western schools…. ( out of Arizona) (((( No Ucla or UCB)))))</p>

<p>Does anyone have any suggestions for me?</p>
