They used to own us on a regular basis...old Jim Phelan.

4 team tourney held ANNUALLY, with Liberty, Grand Canyon and Oral Roberts playing every year and rotating hosting. The 4th team picked each Spring/Summer from a pool of Evangelical non D1 schools based on who projected to be the strongest in the coming season.

I had a friend who was a Dean there. I laughed when he mentioned they were “faith based”. Then he said “ I did say ‘were’”.

Remind you of anyone locally? GCU is EATING Liberty's lunch in multiple aspects of operations, including online. In fact, they are the "World's Largest Christian University". They just don't see the need to advertise it.

Hyperbole much? Yes, they have surpassed us in on-line enrollment, and we no longer promote ourselves in those terms. They do have a better basketball game day experience (one of the best anywhere) although we have closed the gap a bit there. More importantly, we have the better team this year. 8)

The Jesuits are an order of the Catholic church.
