I see what you're saying. The Big South probably has the same kind of thinking when they vote on Liberty. Since Liberty loves to hand out money, I'm sure the OVC wouldn't mind if Liberty is a temporary solution. Can you say huge buyouts?
Once the dominoes fall, I hope the admins explore this option.

I don't think it's against the rules but I'm not sure if the OVC would see any advantage. It would be a stop gap measure if they want that thoughLiberty would be there for the foreseeable future so I don't think the OVC would view them as a pit stop like the Big South views us. Liberty wants out in the worse way and I think this is the perfect opportunity. As for what Liberty brings...They bring in the nations top facilities. Very good TF/XC, Golf and Baseball teams and the rest of the teams are competitive. Plus they sponsor Rifle and from what I hear, Liberty eventually wants to add a co-ed scholarship riffle team. Compared to what else is out there they don't have many options to choose from. Maybe FGCU.
