Should we invite Liberty?

[Coach Bill Lewis]

This subject came up on the CUSA board.  They have lots of dough.  They also have their own tv network.  Seem like they are coming up quickly. Thoughts?

Hell yes, invite the radical fundamentalists.  Let's also invite Bob Jones & Oral Roberts.  Academically we'll stink, but God will be on our side.

Boys, the CUSA as we know it today is sinking, so welcome aboard. When they and SBC combine and realign , Liberty could replace La. Monroe.Until then keep bailing.

What ogs's cat said!  

Seriously, we don't have an open spot and even if we did they're too far away.  I'm big on 12 team conferences with 14 being the maximum.  At 14 you could go 6 years or more before you had a home game with someone from the other division.

[Ryan Munthe]

this is an extra special troll

[Arkstfan]

How often do you watch their network? How often is it on the TV in a bar or restaurant you visit?

Liberty's network is the old time TV version of ESPN3. You don't see it unless you are already interested and know to go look for it.

There are a lot of things that Conference USA needs but Liberty University is not one of them.

[UNTX]

Agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Huff.

Liberty on in a bar... uh no!

[outoftown]

No. We should not.

As long as they're back-filling UNT's spot because we left to go MWC or AAC, sure!  
Otherwise, nah.

There's a lot of smoke that CUSA and Sun Belt will do some sort of merge into two conferences:  one in the east and one in the west.  Liberty would be a top target for the eastern conference.

Slow news day at the UAB boards again so he once again comes over here to spam us.

[untbowler]

no way, no how, they belong in the Sun Belt until they can prove they can compete with FBS teams in most sports.

[forevereagle]

I am ok with playing them in one game where we part ways after. No way would I want to be in a conference with them.

Where?  Outside of reading opinions on the message boards, have there been any media reports with factual statements?  Not trying to shoot you down, but this comes up every off season and yet nothing really happens.

Liberty will be a fine addition to the SBCUSA East when it all realigns geographically--this is assuming that MUTS will be moving up to the AAC when they need a replacement next...

Liberty, ODU, Marshall, WKU, ULM, Appy State, Charlotte, FAU, FIU, Ga Southern, Ga State, and South Alabama

Troy, UAB, USM, La Tech, ULL, Arky State, ULM, UNT, UTSA, Texas State, Rice,  and UTEP

If Rice, UTEP, and/or UTSA get an AAC/MWC invite: you can replace them with Sam Houston, NMSU, and SFA as other options.

I know that many here won't like this scenario, but we are blocked forever to the AAC as long as SMU is there and our fanbase has made it completely clear they don't want to go to the MWC, so it appears to me that we will be a part of a league that will be made up of former SLC, SBC, and current CUSA teams.

None of this will happen.
