Should the AAC consider adding Liberty?

They are a natural fit geographically and their budget would be at the very top.  If we are serious about being a major conference player shouldn’t we consider them even with their warts?  Judy is licking her lips on what they are going to do for C-USA this season.  Why not poach them?

Why now?  If in a couple of years it's clear they are going to be the next Central Florida, it won't be hard to poach them.

There might be competition then from the ACC if the SEC has poached their top schools. Liberty's stadium seats only 6K fewer the ACC's current smallest venue at Wake Forest.

If the ACC wants them, they could easily poach then from the American, too.  Again, no advantage to taking them now.

I think you have to lock them into at least a 4-5 deal but you won’t be able to do much more than that as everyone wants to move up.

I just don't like they way they conduct themselves as a University.  They just don't seem to be a good match for our values.
