Liberty University, which was founded by Jerry Falwell and is now run by his son, has announced they will join the FBS in 2018. Their coach is Turner Gill, whom Charles Barkley once wanted the barn to hire.
They are making the move despite not having an invitation from an FBS conference, which the NCAA requires for a school to move up but have apparently made a waiver for. They also recently hired the former Baylor AD as their athletic director.
