RE: Report that Liberty will have an FBS bid within months

The Sun Belt won't take them, and there would be several schools ahead of them for the MAC or CUSA to even consider it. There is a way for Liberty to get an affiliate bid, but many on this board are adamant and even militant that that won't happen.

What Conference is going to take them with that Baggage? They only really have three scenarios that could happen:
-Both the Belt and C-USA collapses and reform into two new Conferences(see the thread on the Sun Belt Board)
-A Brand New Conference Forms and hope for a Waiver from the NCAA for BB Auto-Bids AND any School that joins gets to keep their Credits.
-Independence. See Akron when they moved up on why the NCAA does not allow for that to happen, unless they got a waiver
