Liberty does not have an attendance issue and will likely be drawing well over 20k if they move up. What's more, unlike JMU, they want to be in the belt. Plus they have the facilities and resources. Flames are best choice available if the goal is 12 football playing schools and an eastern member.
Without looking I would bet a large sum of money that over the past decade EKU had higher average attendance than that Online school in Lynchburg.
Well patch. I just looked it up. When can I have that large sum of money? From 2005 to 2013 (Records are not as great in 2004) Liberty averaged 13,475. EKU averaged 8,110.

Just change the date to whatever date you want to look at to see attendance.
