On the plus side after this thread I'll no longer see Liberty on the score ticker and have to say "Who/where in the heck is Liberty?"
I think Jerry Falwell needs to pull an Oral Roberts and stay in his prayer tower until 50,000 season ticket holders step up.You never know! They may win the NC before the year 3000 Anno Domini.
or I could hook up with Kate Upton. you never know.You never know! They may win the NC before the year 3000 Anno Domini.
Or it's that no one wants a crappy FCS program in their conference.Supposedly the politics of the Falwells has played a role in nobody wanting to get involved with them.
Laugh all you want but they're one of the biggest players in the online degree arena. They have a HUGE online degree program. I want to say somewhere along the lines of 40,000 people getting their degree online at any one time.Surprisingly, they say they have a residential enrollment of over 15,000 students. I would have thought they would be more in the Samford range.
If people didn't want crappy FCS programs in their conference, that would have prevented a lot of the promotions in recent years.Or it's that no one wants a crappy FCS program in their conference.
Maybe they need to join an Online Football conference.Laugh all you want but they're one of the biggest players in the online degree arena. They have a HUGE online degree program. I want to say somewhere along the lines of 40,000 people getting their degree online at any one time.

Heh, I think you guys have this all covered. I find it hard to imagine anything good coming of this. Their stadium is a glorified high school stadium, they clearly don't belong but that isn't going to stop them.Paging krazy3, I repeat, paging krazy3
The NCAA has no power anymore. Just look at them acting all big and bad around the Ole Miss situation in order to have credibility. When the Power 5 came into existence, the NCAA hasn't been itself. But it might if the commissioner idea gains traction, but we really need to hope against that for a multitude of reasons. I wish the Power 5 would say Adios to the NCAA altogether.Heh, I think you guys have this all covered. I find it hard to imagine anything good coming of this.

I wonder how things might have turned out with Alabama and the NCAA if everyone knew you could just get the NCAA to waive all the rules? Anyway, you have the fantastic memory, do you know of any instance of the NCAA applying a rule on FBS membership, be it that a team has to be in a conference or a team failing to meet attendance requirements? I know of teams failing to meet requirements, I don't know of one instance of the NCAA just applying the rules, which is ludicrous given the NCAA's past history of being absolutely overzealous in other regards.
I won't even get into the Baylor stuff, but it's disgusting...
