Liberty moves to FBS in 2019

I say bring back the good ole days and sign em to a two game home stand. It'll beat playing a FCS school.

I remember playing Liberty. Our fans used to razz them mercilessly (and deservedly) at the Citrus Bowl.
Also, as we enter an age of declining enrollments from our aging population and continued tuition hikes, many of these newer FBS school will be forced to end there efforts. That could include FIU or FAU or both. Arkansas State is one of the rare "successful" entrants.

What do you mean by deservedly? Did they have bad fans? I was just curious.

Who was that Liberty running back that we played back at the Citrus bowl? Nobody could tackle him!

They'll definitely get an interview.

FAU and FIU need to close their programs. Unfortunately only FIU probably will.

(F)ind (A) nother (U) niversity and FIWho both have large enrollments. They will survive off their students like they are today. FIU needs to turn into club sports. Embarrassing seeing the fans at FIU.

A quote from the CBS article discussing it "The athletic department is under new management after they decided to hire former Baylor AD Ian McCaw to the same position. McCaw resigned from his position at Baylor last May after he was sanctioned by the university for his involvement in the sexual and physical assault allegations levied against the Baylor football program."

Just damn funny.

You did bad things at your old job, but that was there, this is here. Welcome!
