Honestly I am not sure who would be visiting. Karl Benson doesn't take over as Sun Belt commish until April 1st. My guess is that if somebody was on campus today it was some school presidents from the league. I sincerely doubt they make any moves prior to Benson arriving in six weeks. But since we are obviously a strong candidate for the league, this is likely due diligence on their part.

To be honest, I've heard nothing about a visit today. But it wouldn't surprise me.

Nah, I actually know those guys pretty well. They could care less about college football. The Sunbelt guy may or may not be true but I know the source of such a rumor wouldn't be from the Tebow guys.

Just thinking about an App State Liberty U, FBS show down every season gets me excited. Hope it works out that way.

Throw JMU into the mix and you could work it out so you get one of them at home a year!

I do not really want JMU in the mix. That would just make one more Virginia FBS team to compete with for recruiting.

I think we are in a better position to recruit. I don't mind the competition. As Ric Flair says 'To be the man, you gotta beat the man!' Andi look at it from an attendance stand point and a following in the community standpoint

I understand how you feel. However, Liberty is in state where there are many FCS schools that have FBS aspirations. You have JMU, ODU (and maybe even W&M, although I'm not too sure about them). Out of those schools, JMU is the most prepared. I'm not too worried about them or ODU. If they are in a conference with us, they can not make any more excuses to play us. :D

It doesn't matter to me who else the Sunbelt offers an invite as long as Liberty gets one.

P.S. The title of this thread had me very excited.

Man, I hope that this is true and this is really getting interesting and juicy. I hope we get the invite LU has been salivating for.

If they want to expand their football conference to 12 teams, adding LU and App State would be perfect!

If it happens, our CLOSEST away games would be at Middle Tennesse State and Western KY. :shock:

That depends on who else would be joining.

Not if App State joins. Plus, this isn't a huge deal for us. Our alumni is so spread out that I would be really surprised if we didn't have fans at every game. Kind of disappointing for those of us in Lynchburg, but how many road games do you plan on attending this year? With the exception of the NC State game and die-hards on here, I don't know of anyone who went to an LU away game last season.

Unfortunately, I'm starting to doubt that this rumor is true. The original poster has little history on the board and has yet to even comment on this. Hopefully, we have some source to back the rumor soon.

I usually go to away games at VMI and sometimes Radford. And now that Longwood has joined the conference, that's another close away game. And, yes, I was at the NC State game, too.

I'm starting to doubt the credibility of this poster because he posted once and disappeared off of the thread. Maybe he's just having fun in between the season am stir the pot up.
