WEST: Montana, Montana St., NDSU, South Dakota St., (and Wichita St.)[Idaho and NMSU]
EAST: Liberty, JMU, Delaware, Jacksonville St., Youngstown St. [UMass]

Operating at the same level of weakest FBS teams is not really the test--nor should it be. It could be argued that those lowest level programs should be in jeopardy of being removed from FBS rather than serving as the bar to reach FBS status.

Liberty is a unique case. Tons of money sloshing around indicating they are more than capable of financially supporting an FBS program. They have adequate facilities. The real clincher for them is that their controversial religious beliefs likely would prevent them from ever getting an FBS conference invite. It could be easily argued, at least in Liberty's case, that the conference invite requirement was an effective religious test. That's a argument with significant merit and a court case the NCAA would likely lose. It was a battle not worth fighting. Losing it would possibly destroy one or more portions of the FBS-FCS firewall. Granting a waiver to Liberty leaves the firewall in place. It might still get overturned if challenged, but Im sure the thinking was the next school to file suit likely wont have near the legal case Liberty had.
