Liberty will have to gain the national fan (like Notre Dame). The potential is there with LU Online. The online U. needs to come up with a marketing package to draw new alumni as fans.

Virginia and Virginia Tech don't make it easy for Liberty but it isn't impossible. North Carolina has four ACC schools but that doesn't keep schools like ECU, App State, and others from having their moments. I agree that LU Online is our ticket to a national fan base. That's why I am in favor of a more national schedule. It will be expensive but it will be worth it in the long run if used well.
