While the 2020-21 athletics year certainly had its unique challenges, the recently completed athletics season was the best in Liberty Athletics history.

The Flames ranked No. 72 in the final 2020-21 Learfield IMG College Directors' Cup standings, Liberty's best-ever position in the annual listing that ranks the top collegiate athletics departments in the country.

One would think that with 10 conference championships, LU would have finished higher than 72nd. I have no idea how Learfield does the scoring.
Does anyone know how many schools went to a bowl game, NCAA tournament in basketball, baseball and softball ?

For a lot of schools at the top, it’s the sheer volume of total sports/teams that gets them there. How about Denver!

Coming back to this one. It should probably be noted that LU finished higher than every Sunbelt school, higher than every Conference USA school, higher than all but one Mountain West school, and higher than all but two American schools.

That was an incredible year.
