Sun Belt won't wait on JMU; talking to Liberty

Post by EPJr »

Liberty University talks with Sun Belt are heating up; an announcement could come soon

The plans were laid out and there were options if the Sun Belt needed them; could those options answer for the Sun Belt Conference soon?

After Western Kentucky made it official that they will be leaving the Sun Belt Conference for Conference USA in 2014 that left an open spot in the Sun Belt Conference. Commissioner Carl Benson said on Monday that Western Kentucky news was no surprise to him or the Sun Belt Conference, and that they have been preparing for the moment. Now that WKU is gone, Commissioner Benson has been in active talks with several programs and most notably James Madison and Liberty.

Liberty can't win in the Big South, how can they hope to compete in the Sun Belt?

Can't win in the Big South? Where have you been, Andy? Liberty has at least shared league titles in football for what seems like the last eight to ten years running (dating to before the Big South got their precious autobid) and they got the auto-bid in men's hoops this year. How is that "not winning?"

:ohno:
