Yeah, because Liberty folks didn't bother to participate in this poll at all, did they?

And obviously it isn't a "scant few bitter folks" otherwise you would be invited by now.

Begs the question. Why aren't they trying to get in the SoCon and be with similar institutions?

They have tried to get into the SoCon twice at least and the CAA once. They applied once after the 1996 season when Marshall left. The SoCon choose to take a no name school with 921 students at the time in Wofford. They also inquired in the SoCon when Appy and GA Southern left, the SoCon decided to take a school back they once kicked out in ETSU, a start up in Mercer and one of the worst IAA schools there is but a historic SoCon school in VMI. They also applied and was denied entry into the CAA.

Why doesn't NACUBO list your endowment along with other colleges and universities?

Maybe it's not in dollars but in frankincense and myrrh.

RE: Why do you disapprove of Liberty
Come on Panama, you can easily do a Google search and see that there's no fuzzy math for Liberty finances. I've seen numbers that Liberty is bringing in around 300 million a year. A 500 million dollar campus overhaul is currently underway. Check out the baseball field, softball field and the new medical school building. First class all the way. We'll get to FBS eventually.

Liberty, who I still assume is not under consideration, or if so on a very low order of probability of being invited to the Sun Belt, and Coastal Carolina who is I assume on a much greater probablity of an invitation, both denied admittance to the SoCon.'
The Southern Conference, who I'm glad we graduated from is somewhat of an exclusive club it seems. They don't just take anybody do they !

If a Liberty grad's resume came across my desk, I'd throw it in the trash. They're on the same level as U of Phoenix, ITT Tech, and Virginia College.

Because everyone is not a closed minded liberal that thinks that the only acceptable views on life are those on the extreme left.

RE: Why do you disapprove of Liberty
Here is a story.

The preacher was in the grocery store and saw a member of his congregation that had not been to the church in a while. He went over to see how he was and asked why he had not been lately. The man said I quit because there are too many hypocrites there. The preacher smiled and responded "there is always room for one more."

Fair Warning. If this turns into an attack on Liberty, it will get locked.

What if they were a resident student?

I'm amazed at how many excuses people can come up with to hide their true dislike for Liberty.

Arkansas State AD Terry Mohajir has brought up if Liberty could recruit and field competitive Sun Belt teams with their Honor Code. That's not conjecture of a message board poster, that's the opinion of a Sun Belt AD.

I think that folks on this board have been pretty open about their distain for Liberty.

Nothing hidden as far as I can tell . . . . .

How bout it Liberty? Can you feel the vitriol?
