Pulled this from the LU forum.
"In yesterday's all-faculty meeting, President Falwell was asked about realignment and he said he couldn't say much other than:
1) They won't know about one of the possibilities until late May.
2) There are others.
3) He's optimistic.
He did reveal that he's been traveling to several other schools lately meeting with college presidents, and he said they are surprised by the diverse demographics of our student body, the fact that we are a full-fledged, fully accredited university with 389 degree programs, that our academic programs are accredited by the same agencies which accredit their programs, that we have a school of engineering, a school of law, and a school of medicine, and that we're not the same as Pensacola Christian, Bob Jones or Tennessee Temple in scope, variety or academic freedom.
He said "their mouths drop open when they start hearing about everything Liberty has to offer", and "when they start hearing about what our doctrinal positions are". In his words, they proclaim, "if you got accreditation from SACS, and NCATE and ABA, then you must be a pretty open-minded group of people."
He said the first part of the meeting is "convincing them that we're normal" and, by the end of the meeting, he says "we've got them close to where we want them to be." He said the similarities in experiences are incredible, and the shared experiences create a bond with them. He also said they are impressed with the fact we have 14 hotels and and 21 restaurants within a mile and a half of the campus, and an airport nearby, "something almost none of them have." He says they consider the proximity of food, lodging and transportation to the campus "a blessing" for travel purposes.
He introduced a fact book that he said "basically dispels all the myths about Liberty", and that even we would be surprised by some of what's in the book. You can download the book from this link:

I thought this would be good information for the thread, straight from President Falwell himself."
I looked at the factbook and it appears that ESPN3 has approached Liberty and asked to carry all of LFSN’s programming next year (page 24 in the booklet). It said something about it being able to reach 120 million homes. All that stuff is over my head. Either way it's a good read.
