They were an original member so they didnt get invited to Big South, they helped found it along with former CSU AD Howard Bagwell. They were always one of the top 2 or 3 programs. Liberty, Coastal...

So who will Liberty get home and home with? Well App State. ASU sees them as a win and they want to recruit the VA area more. They might get one with one of the less prestigious religious schools in...
They played @UMass because its in Boston. Could do a whole thread on why...but thats why.
Notre Dame will NOT play @Lynchburg. Go ahead and chisel that one in stone.
YEP! (Name the movie)
Coastal will do fine. Good state for recruiting. Great town to go to college in. Yall have some banners and rings from the past decade to show off. I can see CCU eventually...
I don't. I knew App State and Ga Southern would do well. And so will Coastal. But they have things Liberty doesnt. They match them in facilities. Beat them in fun town. Beat them in history. Beat...
You're right for FCS talent but FBS? Playing in such a beautiful huge stadium (by FCS standards) appeals to FCS kids who may be looking at Liberty vs CSU, PC, Gardner Webb, etc. But now to be...
Yeah thats what I meant. Their move was improbable but their Independent move got approved.
Its a terrible move for Liberty football. They're gonna be awful. Their facilities are excellent by FCS...
Yes but would they want to one day go back to an HBCU conference? Those conferences have very deep and rich football history, not to mention the band rivalries (we played at SC State and that was a...
No problem man simple misunderstanding. Im with ya, no politics!
On to Liberty....they've always been like that. They think they are God's gift to the Big South and that only their opinion...
I also think the Big South desperately wants stability. And taking any HBCU team comes with the possibility that they may eventually want to go back to an HBCU comference. And thats understandable...
Its recruiting. PC and Liberty dont go after the same kids. LU wouldn't want any VA school in who they cant out-recruit. They were ok with VMI. Different target recruits and VMI couldnt compete. But...
If it competes close to home with recruiting then Big South teams will push back. If NC A&T got some interest I assume Gardner Webb would oppose it. Whereas we'd welcome NCAT but not SC State.
Sooo....Liberty wanted to block HBCU shools from their heaviest recruiting area (VA/NC/DC) from joining? You phrased it as "those schools" with the intent of alluding to a discrimination theme. That...
Yes because they didnt happen. Its sad some people whip out the Racism Binoculars so often, hunting that opportunity to claim victimhood.
I think SC State would be a great fit but I dont know if they'd want to leave the MEAC. Major conferences like to expand their footprint due to TV markets but FCS doesnt have that issue. Distance...
Can you show me that quote? Because we have scheduled Norfolk St, Howard, Savannah State, SC State, etc and travelled TO them all. For us to not want to be associated with them we sure do generously...
Probably wouldnt. Depends who the team was. SC State would maybe get considered just due to geography.
Winning fixes everything. They just dont win. My school showed you dont need a stadium or big crowds to win big. Hard to imagine it would be hard to recruit to Savannah. Great city. SSU reminds me of...
That program is such a disaster i dont think even we would've taken them. We wanted Jacksonville more and would probably pursue Newberry or Wingate to move up way before Savannah State.
