This is big for Liberty and for us. Don't know how our finances are probably not great but it is something to work for. I don't know what goes in the IVY Tower but I'm sure this will be discussed . Still would like the MAC or AAC as a conference someday .
I was once a big time advocate for a move up to FBS, but maybe we should start off with a winning year, first. Ever since the move from the Big South to the CAA, SB cant gain any traction.
Hopefully with the addition of the interior work out facility SB can recruit better players and a real quarterback, then we can talk about an FBS move. I also think they have the money to do it, just not the talent, yet!!!!!!
I too would like to see some FCS success before a move up in a similar vein to what JMU accomplished this year before a move up, but that's not a requirement for me. We shouldn't move tomorrow, but it would be in our best interest to be FBS within the next 6-7 years before the next CFP contract gets negotiated as we'd want to be a part of that. Ideally as part of a regional conference of peer institutions.
Keep in mind. SB would have to expand that stadium to a NCAA min, 15,000 seats, and I am certain they have to guarantee a min of 15K tickets to sell otherwise the university makes up the difference. UMASS is going through that pain since their move up from the FCS.. A lot to consider when a program makes the leap..
