It's a high stakes enterprise where many people lose perspective and sell their souls for money and publicity. Keep a very close eye on your program. When someone as ambitious as Falwell starts throwing money around, it does not portend well.

So would your stance be the same if ODU had the resources back in 2013 to do the same thing Liberty is doing?

I'd have been pissed if we paid 1.3 million to play a local G5 team regardless of whether we had the resources. But then again we're not Liberty. We were a desirable add to an FBS conference. I'd be pissed if we hired anyone from the cesspool of Baylor regardless of his connections.
Would I spend the dollars in the way Liberty is, probably not. Unless we got four or five years down the road and could not get a decent non conference FBS program to come play at our place. But why is Liberty's football team viewed as less desirable to play versus us?

What makes you think they are? We'll play them on even terms in the future the same as many teams. Their deal with UVA is not much different than what we got.
But to get a bunch of teams to move around a bunch of games for the following year then you're going to have to open your wallet, they were in a position to do that. We were in a position to be taken in by an FBS conference so we didn't face the problems they are now. I wouldn't want to switch positions with them. Say what you want about CUSA, it's better than FBS Independence and the Big South.
I absolutely agree that we were in a better position due to having a conference home. My question was about the comment "But then again we're not Liberty. We were a desirable add to an FBS conference".
