I can understand Coastal, but when EKU was under consideration that cemented my view that Liberty and the SB ain't happening. I wish Coastal well. CCU has been a good rivalry with Liberty the past several years.

I was actually up in Lynchburg for the Airshow this past weekend. Having been a student at ECU and growing up going to Appalachian football games, it is asinine to ignore the fact that Liberty has everything in place to be a player in major college football. It truly is a shame that politics are affecting the possibility of adding Liberty to the Sun Belt because the area is beautiful, accessible, and Liberty pretty much owns the city of Lynchburg and will be able to grow as they wish. An addition of Liberty and Coastal, with dropping NMSU and Idaho would push the Sun Belt above C-USA and the MAC within 5 years.
