Agree regarding aspirations. Liberty may even prefer to be independent over an invite from the AAC. It's been busy scheduling but it wans more P5 games of course.I think Liberty has much higher aspirations than to be in a poor man's Sun Belt.
There had been rumors of Charlotte & ODU wanting to break away from C-USA over travel concerns. If they could get nearby App St, Coastal, Liberty, Ga Southern, Marshall (+ possibly JMU) -- that'd become a strong G5 league.
