Thats a reasonable response. But if JMU, Delaware, Jax St, EKU, Stony Brook and others go A Sun, Liberty won't be far behind.

Why would those schools move to the A-Sun in the first place? The A-Sun is literally the gateway from Division II, the eastern version of the WAC. They are the lowest of lows in D-I. Why would the current A-Sun members let a bunch of schools come in and hijack the conference? Why would schools not currently in conferences together then band together under a new conference? Why would the NCAA allow them to move to FBS without an invitation from an existing FBS conference? Liberty received a waiver due to asking the NCAA for permission to move up as an independent since the rule was inadvertently punishing private schools. The example lists all public.
