Before a record crowd at Williams Stadium on Saturday for its 39th Commencement ceremony, Chancellor and President Jerry Falwell, Jr., announced Liberty University's intention to seek NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conference affiliation for its 20-team athletics program.

During the last six months, Liberty University has worked with Carr Sports Consulting, LLC, to conduct an exhaustive analysis of its athletics and University programs.



The expansive FBS Feasibility study examined all facets of the University to see if Liberty University is capable of meeting the demands of competing at the highest level of NCAA Division I competition.

Falwell, along with Liberty University Director of Athletics Jeff Barber and Bill Carr will hold a press conference on Monday to further discuss the findings of the FBS Feasibility study.

The press conference, which will be open to both members of the media and the general public, will be held in the Club Pavilion of the Williams Stadium Tower at 1 p.m. (EST).

So, when and with which conference do you think Liberty will move up to FBS? At this point, I'd say that the WAC is dead as far as any eastern schools joining. That would mean I expect the Sun Belt to invite Liberty maybe in two summers from now after they get settled into their new arrangement and want 12 with a championship game or need to replace defections.
