Ok, now that the WKU move is about to happen we will really know where we stand once the replacement is chosen. I know it does not look very good right now, but I still am holding out hope. If JMU is really not interested, then we really should be the best pick. At least we will know.

Great, another week to get my hopes up... ja ja

Haize...I was thinking the other day...what an eternal conundrum we are in... I personally don't agree with Obama's policies, however it has also indirectly meant some incredible growth for 'ol LU. It is hard for me to rail on the man too much as every year we do take in a sum of federal student loan dollars that I won't repeat here. If my beloved Ron Paul truly had his way, federal student loans would not exist, and the private sector would force colleges to curb spending and budgets BIG TIME.

Is LUO a bubble...not as long as the Democrats are in power and the dollar stays afloat, as federal loan dollars will continue pouring out from Washington.

If a true conservative with the courage to cut spending ever gets elected..watch out. Until then, as long as we can maintain higher than average LUO graduation rates and can keep the Feds off our backs....let the good times roll.

Wait til the states begin to compete; they will, sooner than later, and that will be the end of the gravy train.

Those sneezing at the caa socon idea... It's rumored that coastal and vmi along with Mercer and Ksu are getting invites to socon. That's a death sentance for the bsc. How would you feel about being stuck like that? I think I'd rather have tougher competition and be in a more secure conference than go Indy or go down with the bsc.

What happens if even they don't want us?

We go FBS Independent! Even though we can't we just say we are and make them stop us?

They would be dumb not to.

[LUaddict]

If they accept and know that it might be their only ticket to FBS in the short term, we won't get a spot.

It might be bust for us!

Unless Arkansas State also leaves the Sun Belt, which has been rumored as well.

The Sun Belt is showing, very clearly, that despite the rumors of start up programs/trying to goad people to move up they are focused on established FCS programs with good facilities. App St and Georgia Southern fit that. So do JMU and Liberty.

[LUaddict]

I'll believe it til were invited!

[GillsHill2013]

We shall see if we are desired in the next few days...

[Purple Haize]

Sloppy Seconds do not equal being desired but the end results are the same.

[GillsHill2013]

It sort of like picking for school dodge ball back in middle school. Will we be the one one not picked?

[LUconn]

How's this for a scenario: We get invited to the Sun Belt. Our final FCS season we win the Big South and after 30 something years FINALLY earn a playoff spot with the autobid yet we're not allowed to participate because we're moving up the following year. That is irony on the level of Liberty sports.

For some reason, I could really go for some Manwich right now....

The Dark Side is strong with you

[bluedevilflame]

Let's face it, the best result of LU joining the Sun Belt would be having the authentic team and The Bill in the NCAA football game

[NotAJerry]

So once we're invited you'll stop believing it?

[jbock13]

Even if JMU had FBS desires, I seriously doubt they want to go to the Sun Belt, as others have speculated on here.

[bluedevilflame]

I think CUSA will go after JMU eventually leaving the Sun Belt invite for us. Crossing my fingers!

[Purple Haize]

JMU should take the SBC invite. If they want to go C-USA or MAC it would make it easier than staying where they are currently. I strategy some here suggest for Liberty
