So they can't be in a sports conference because they are "different"? What does that mean?

It’s spelled out above, and it has nothing to do with religion. It has to do with grift on a non profit tag.

You mean like Purdue Global Online? Or ASU Online? There was a time when public universities might have had the moral high ground. But that time is long gone. Most public universities are following a business model and are trying to make profits, even if it is called something else for accounting purposes.

I was just ready to give Purdue as an example. It wasn't even just a growth of Purdue programs online, but the actual purchase of a big online for profit they converted to non profit in name. Arizona bought what used to be called Ashford University, Arkansas just bought a non regionally accredited online for profit school, Grantham University. U Mass just bought a Cali school called Brandman for their online and adult program. If people don't like what Liberty is, they don't like lots of others either. Maryland Global campus is more like a global ATM. There's no difference between any of them. Some call it helping working adults finish their degrees, others call it serving the military community, etc. If you don't like the school, it's a diploma mill. Same thing.

Liberty has more growth potential than any FBS program. They are just getting started. No one.else.has the potential they do.

They aren't there yet. Liberty is a campus tacked onto an online school. The others are the reverse. Maybe in 20 years it won't look much different.
