Report that Liberty will have an FBS bid within months

I think most of us assume the former, but only the latter option would be practical for Liberty.
Even if Liberty has to join for all sports, dragging enough schools along for the ride could make the WAC viable as a primarily eastern FBS conference with an 8/14 alignment:
Stony Brook/Liberty
Eastern Kentucky/Jacksonville (AL) State
Chicago State*/UMKC*
UTRGV/Lamar
Sam Houston State/New Mexico State
Seattle*/Bakersfield*
Utah Valley*/Grand Canyon*
The key would be to grab the Dakota 4 - the six non-football members would likely backfill for them in the Summit or Big Sky.
