I'm saying they will add 2 fcs games more than likely to get to 5 home games and 12 games all together. I was saying they may also look to add an additional home game, likely an fcs, to get 6 home games bringing the total to 13 on the season. I know Hawaii was able to schedule 13 games in the season a while back but Idk the reasoning behind it. Might be something to look into though as home games are big money revenues.

I see what you are saying now. But when most schools play six home games minimum, Liberty feels behind the curve and it could harm the perception.

The Hawaii rule allows schools who play a game in the state of Hawaii to have another game that regular season. This wouldn't apply to Liberty. A tweak to the rule allows schools to play a week ahead of everyone else because prior to the rule change, schools would rarely schedule the 13th game because it would take away a bye week.
