Interesting article on how quickly and committed Liberty University, the FCS school that beat Baylor last week, is to be competitive in sports. Since 2010 they have spent $196 million on athletic facilities and plan to spend another $40 to $50 million expanding their stadium. They reportedly offered Conference USA $24 million, instead of the required $2 million, to join. Conference USA reportedly rejected them because it is a conservative Christian college. They have also managed to schedule future home games with Virginia Tech, Virginia, Syracuse, Duke, Wake Forest, Brigham Young and Army.

Good to see Jerry Falwell U live up to the principles of their founder. For them "Christian Charity begins [and stays] at home."

A lot of Liberty grads have done very well for themselves. Just giving a little back.

Some guy in the Cotton business from Northeast Arkansas.....or so I've heard. Maybe in his wife's honor.

The robertsons certainly have plenty of money to donate.

And they've been the main sponsor of William Byron's racecar and are spending big money to follow him to NASCAR next year as he's one of the most talented young drivers out there joining one of the best teams.
They're getting their name out there that's for sure.

Liberty's biggest sports rival in the Big South was Coastal Carolina, who are now playing FBS football in the Sun Belt. Coastal leaving the Big South for greener pastures seems to have really motivated Liberty, as the Big South is one of the weaker FCS conferences.

I would say maybe we should switch the schools but I would like to have at least a 3 game lead in the series with Vandy before y'all leave. Unfortunately we play about 3 times in the next 50 years

We should swap them with Aggy.
