It actually made me laugh out loud to read this. The fact that you truly believe that you have any leverage whatsoever when it comes to FBS scheduling.

The ONLY thing you have to offer ANYONE is a boat load of money. So prepare to crack open that check book fattened up by your online "school."

You'll get a few home FBS games, but you'll pay a hefty price for them.

Actually we are in a position of power and have quite bit of leverage. We need home and homes and can pay P5 or upper level G5's if we need to do a one and done home game. GSU or any lower level G5 school has zero leverage on us. I'm not saying that as an insult I'm saying we can say no to a one and done at home with GSU. GSU is the one that needs us given their position. Doing away games is the easy part of scheduling.

That aside I'm being told we have our 2018 and 2019 schedules almost done. I'm sure we will have quite a bit of home and home games on it. And maybe some one and done home games at LU. Don't confuse your hate of LU as some widely accepted thing. Most Athletic Directors don't care what Coastal thinks or what a poster on a forum thinks. Like I said before if you hate us then don't schedule us. But it's doubtful anyone one this forum has their schools Athletic Director answering to them so in the end tough sh*t.

So what you did with this post is make a long winded effort to repackage what I already said and pretend it was different somehow.

You just admitted that your leverage is your checkbook. And like I stated in the post you are supposedly refuting, you have absolutely zero leverage except for your check book.

You'll pay dearly for the majority of the home FBS games you get.

And the problem I have with Coastal potentially playing liberty has absolutely nothing to do with hatred or politics or anything like that. I'm against it because it will further a perception problem we are fighting in the state of SC that we are still FCS. If we continue playing the same opponent that we played in our FCS days, it is counter productive to what we are trying to do perception wise.

Out of every single team in the Sun Belt, Coastal has the most to lose by even putting liberty on the schedule in my opinion. Much like we shouldn't be playing Furman or SC State any time in the near to intermediate future.

Money talks in FBS the sooner you come to terms with that the better. Having a checkbook is a good thing at the highest level of Football. CUSA is on the verge of exploding because of you guessed it...the lack of money. That is just rumor but given the huge pay cut it would make sense.

I love all of the G5 teams and would love a home and home with anyone of them. But like I said before if you hate us then don't schedule us, if you have any say with your AD then make it happen. I won't lose any sleep over it I can promise you that. But I'm sure Coastal and LU will be playing in the near distance future. You know it and I know it.

Actually I don't know that and you don't know that.

But the real question here is this...why would you want to play us? Other than complete desperation on your part to get FBS games on the schedule...

This would hurt your perception battle in your state just like it would hurt ours in SC.

And again...you're agreeing with me so much that you're trying to make it a disagreement. Here it is simply for you: Liberty = absolutely zero leverage to schedule anyone other than paying a huge amount of money. End of story.
