It's quite obvious it was out of fear of Liberty very quickly overshadowing them.
At the end of the day, they don't want to be associated with a school whose enrollment is 85% online. Same reason that Grand Canyon will struggle to find a real conference.
Liberty might end up overshadowing them in football, but this decision was not a football decision.
I've said the same thing about having concern over the online enrollment figures.
The only thing is that as a whole the institution is roughly on par with those in CUSA.
Academically??? I'm honestly insulted. It's a shiny diploma mill.
That's an unfair characterization of Liberty.
It's closer than "roughly on par with C-USA schools".
