Are we still discussing Liberty? Really?

..because they came within 16 run of beating SC the first game...and 3 the second time. It's the typical story of LU athletics. 'Look at what we almost did!'

Neither does the vast majority of the Sun Belt members.

But you will again choose to ignore this to play the martyr.

Yet they wouldn't take an up and coming program with limitless potential. The word out now is that the Louisiana schools didn't want us because our budget was too big. Does the SBC want to improve nationally or not?

It has nothing to do with religion. It has to do with the quack pots that Liberty allows to speak for it's group.

EDIT: Limitless? Your talent pool is restricted by your code of conduct and heavy religious focus. Your potential is NOT limitless by any means.

Would your talent pool expand if you were in FBS? I think it's safe to say you bet. But would you miss out on a HUGE portion of student athletes and coaches. That MOST DEFINITELY limits your potential.

So it's ok for a professor at a school like, say Marshall to say what he wants in the name of academic freedom, but when Liberty does they are quack pots?

It's really amazing that you still don't get it.

You can find examples of a professor with crazy ideas at every school. At App I had a professor who would show a video every semester about how the moon landing was a hoax perpetrated by the US government. And that was a class in the college of business if I remember correctly.

There is a difference between having a rouge professor vs. having all of the baggage that comes with Liberty.

When I first did research on Liberty as a potential conference mate, I initially stopped at the whole "we don't hire gays" part. That's enough for me. You discriminate against people based on their sexual orientation, and I want nothing to do with you. It goes so much deeper then that though.

For me personally, the thing I enjoyed about college is that all views and ideas were welcomed. If you were an evangelical Christian or a gay Marxist atheist or a Conspiracy theorist, you didn't have to worry about hiding your views. It's higher education, all views and ideas are allowed! Not at Liberty.

At Liberty, if the Lynchburg paper posts an article about your school receiving lots of federal funding, you just block the website on campus Internet! 

According to "the Liberty Way", you can be punished for going to an off campus demonstration that goes against the administrations belief. You can't kiss, you can't watch R rated movies, you can't got out to a dance club while at Liberty (how ironic). Your RAs can punish you if your room isnt clean. You have to sign out if you are going to sleep away from your dorm. If your job makes you work past curfew, you better have written approval from the administration (and don't bother getting a job at place that goes against Libertys values). Oh yeah and if they want to randomly test you for drugs and alcohol, they can do that at anytime for any reason. Don't worry though, you can steal carry a concealed weapon because Liberty is all about freedom!

That's not college, that's a prep school for 12 year olds. Why would 11 like minded public institutions want to be associated with that? I would be insulted for my school to be associated with that.

So looking past your schools ridiculous intolerance for anything that goes against the administrations narrow world view, their anti-science agenda, their lunatic dean of the law school, their complete lack of respect in the world of academia, their massive online diploma mill, and their lack of success in revenue sports (even with financial resources that dwarf the Sun Belt schools), I really don't see why we wouldn't invite Liberty!

Now go ahead and post some article about some crazy sociology professor from some big name public school, and then talk about how it makes your school no different then that school, and how we are just persecuting Christians. It doesn't matter, the presidents have spoken and you are not wanted.

Awesome way to ignore what that article was stating.

He said those that are advocating armed rebellion are guilty of treason, which is an offense punishable by execution via firing squad.

Further, your university seems to SEEK OUT quack pots to employ, and also promotes them to be the heads of your department.

But again, you miss the point. Rather than taking steps to fix the issues you have at Liberty, you instead try to say "it's not so bad!"

Hint: it is that bad.

Like this article points out, there have been a huge amount of changes just in the last couple of years, any school should have
been considered. If not, there is something that may need changing or driving better into the minds of those selecting.
By the way, is Texas State and UTA going from the Southland to the SBC correct?
They came from the WAC, but was it because they were not members in full there before they left?
