Tom, why don't you go over to the Big 12 board and harass Baylor?
http://www.baylor.edu/student_policies/i...p?id=32295
Am I happy with Baylor's policies? No.
So what you are saying is when it comes to politics and religion it's "Your Way or The Highway". Gotcha! A lot of us disagree with you though?
Actually, unlike Liberty, I've never supported a ban on political or religious speech or advocacy on college campuses, in admissions, and for employees. Evangelicals can and do enrich every Sun Belt institution as coaches, athletes, staff, students, administrators, alumni, fans, and professors. There's no discrimination. We just expect that non-evangelicals continue to have access to all opportunities at all Sun Belt member institutions. Liberty openly discriminates in its hiring on the basis of RELIGION, sexual orientation, and marital status. No Sun Belt institution does that. Not a fit.
I don't see much if any difference in Baylor and Liberty. I'm sure you would have both booted if you could. The gay agenda trump religious rights in your mind. Doesn't the NCAA consist of both public and private institutions? One or two Christian Universities are welcome in my world, I would love to have either of them in C-USA! I'm sitting here watching us play Rice in an empty stadium. A packed house in Waco would be a lot more exciting. You are turning me into a Baylor fan Tom.
Carry on with your agenda.
ODU BLUE, you make valid points and observations about those whose intense agendas do not allow them to be objective towards Liberty. Tom, Rev and others always turn and hijack all post towards their righteous moral and world views. You likely attended the ODU/LU game last year. LU played Richmond last year and again this year. LU has played JMU and App State in the past and again this year. To those that know, it's just football between teams. None of this constant rhetoric promoted by a select few on this board.
There are gay members on this board, who have publicly stated they are gay, who resent with a passion any mention of LU. There is no middle or acceptance ground. It's their judgmental, righteous, self-proclaimed position that it's either view that is right.
I also hope that LU will at some time in the future become a CUSA member. To those narrow minded posters, who have never attended a LU game, or been on campus, who draw all their beliefs and conclusions from media reports, let them be. I have tried on numerous occasions to dialogue with those anti LU posters. To have a civil dialogue. It simply cannot happen because they are equal extremists in their prejudicial statements.
Monitor the LU/Richmond game Oct. 4th and the LU/App State game Oct. 11th. Notice that it will be football reports that are the news. Not the fabrication and extremists views of those on this board, who will only accept their belief as the truth that demonizes LU.
If the anti LU posters on this board are representative of the SB school Prez, then I would rather LU wait as long as it takes, to join a conference more in alignment with it's philosophy of success and well being. Fact is the SB is the entry level FBS conference. Who has recently left a FBS conference to join the SB? SB posters here voice their concern here of the financial clout of LU (fear). Posts have even been made to allow LU to join buying their way into the conference and then departing after a pre-determined period.
This prejudicial, LU loathing is small minded thinking. It is simply a reflection of a reality that makes them quake that LU could succeed in the SB. The fear that LU has a greater upside than any current SB team and the LU will eventually dominate and be the best team representing the conference is simply inconceivable and fearful to them. Yes, LU must win conference and FCS playoff games and continue to improve to be a valid FBS member. That formula is in place now.
ODU BLUE, now watch the scathing attacks and personal justifications that will ensue. The LU haters cannot contain themselves.
