Should the AAC consider adding Liberty?

[Jonnyeagle]

They are a natural fit geographically and their budget would be at the very top.  If we are serious about being a major conference player shouldn’t we consider them even with their warts?  Judy is licking her lips on what they are going to do for C-USA this season.  Why not poach them?

[Cooke County Kid]

[Cr1028]

[Greenrex]

[MeanGreen_MBA]

I say yes. They will be a player. 

[DeepGreen]

No!!

[bstnsportsfan3]

[YNWA2017]

no

[Mean Green 93-98]

Why now?  If in a couple of years it's clear they are going to be the next Central Florida, it won't be hard to poach them.

There might be competition then from the ACC if the SEC has poached their top schools. Liberty's stadium seats only 6K fewer the ACC's current smallest venue at Wake Forest.

If the ACC wants them, they could easily poach then from the American, too.  Again, no advantage to taking them now.

does that include the dimly lit chair in the corner that Jerry Jr. likes to watch from?

[tmjerm]

No.  They are slimy and disgusting.  Fake virtues.  Laying with them will give us fleas.  

[GrayEagle]

No way!!!

[DeepGreen]

Again, my answer is no.  They bought their way in to college football with money.  Screw them.  Let them sit in football purgatory for several years like many programs did.

[greenminer]

I'm gonna disagree with everyone in this post and give a hard NO.

[UNTLifer]

No

[NorthTexasWeLove]

Yes. They will be a player. And we need at attach ourselves to as many players as possible.

Why, we have no future in either of the major sports.

I think you have to lock them into at least a 4-5 deal but you won’t be able to do much more than that as everyone wants to move up.

Notre Dame could become a player and needs a conference; let's just invite them instead.

I just don't like they way they conduct themselves as a University.  They just don't seem to be a good match for our values.
