Good thing no one grabbed Liberty

[Vowelguy]

If you want a school that's putting some big investment in sports, then Liberty would be attractive.
And yet uni prez have expressed reluctance to do business with them.

Had any league invited them, they woulda had to deal with this mess.

That was a pretty brutal picture of what's going on there.

That school should lose all federal funding (and then go bankrupt).

Why does a private religious university even get federal funding? No private universities should.

Before we start discussing the virtues of those who run individual conferences, or even the NCAA look at the consequences leveled on Baylor (coincidentally also a religious school) a half dozen years ago. That they escaped basically unscathed is borderline criminal when you factor in what happened there not quite two decades ago.

If a sufficient number of decision makers felt Liberty could make them money they would get an invitation to a higher profile conference even if they were publicly flogging "heathens and heretics".

Maybe someone from the Loudon County School Board can call the cops on the victim's father?

I'd imagine it's tied to research, scholarships for disadvantaged students, etc. but I'm just guessing.

Yes. Research grants, federal financial aid, etc.

I think it's mostly student loans and the like.

It’s definitely that. I spent weeks trying to convince one of my employees not to go there. I’m glad she didn’t.

True, but helpful for everyone to be reminded of this.

Inexcusable. Why would anyone want to go there now?

 

[NowInStorrs]

The new roof looks kind of cult-ish. Is that just me?

Spoke too soon!
