Liberty is such the obvious choice it is a "no brainer." But, perhaps, they have been approached and have not expressed an interest in leaving CUSA for the Belt. Would be embarrassing for the Belt to make LU an offer and get publicly turned down. All such matters will be handled behind closed doors for that very reason.

If it turns out to be Ohio or someone else, that is fine too. But the same question comes up, is Ohio really interested in leaving the MAC, which has been a very stable league for so many years.

100 times no.

Give me Delaware first. The problem with Liberty is they have so much money and no restrictions as a private school. They can buy a championship outright and simply outspend us all. And their fanbase is similar to JMU in terms of cockiness, though I doubt they like to party as much :). If we have to add Liberty, I hope they come as a package with Delaware and WKU or not at all.
