Had it not been granted, Falwell acknowledged he would have
explored a “monster lawsuit” against presidents who opposed Liberty on religious grounds.
“I don't know what we would have done,” he said, “but it was a major antitrust violation for schools to try to keep Liberty out based on nothing other than disagreement on religious and political issues.
We called governors and attorney generals and various states where these schools were located. One attorney general wanted to go after one of the presidents,
but I said, we won't get in a conference through legal action so we didn’t encourage them to do that.”
The above doesn't sound like Jr. had already made up his mind, before the ruling, to definitely file a lawsuit. Not trying to wiggle out of my comment or parse words. My post did say "likely not", not "definitely not". I have read tons of things on here a lot more comical and 100% incorrect. I am still not convinced, that if we were not approved for FBS, that we would have sued. I am certain, we would have explored it as Jr. stated. However, IF we were to lose that lawsuit, there really wasn't anything good that would result in a loss of the lawsuit. Our chances of ever getting into a conference, or getting a waver would almost be zero. We will never know, with certainty, what we would have done...........thankfully.
Kinda interesting to see some who don't believe half of what Jr. says, all of a sudden take something he would have "explored" as gospel truth, without considering all of the quotes, information available. Not real surprising.
