Looks to me like Liberty is very chummy with Glen Beck and took some heat over

it. Evidently has invited him to speak a couple of times at graduation and convocation.

Glenn Beck preaches Mormon theology at Liberty University

Evangelical super-school Liberty University hosts Glenn Beck. The controversial personality shares Mormon teachings and showcases a valuable Mormon relic.

They allowed Romney to speak for (again taking heat for doing so)

And Liberty has taken pains to say they have no official position on Mormonism and do not define it as a cult.

Jerry Falwell ignores his school's published doctrine to defend Mormonism

According to Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Liberty University’s doctrinal statement does not define Mormonism as a cult. In 2012, when students protested the school’s invitation to Mitt Rom…

Seems to me like they have been anything but antagonistic towards the church, and even taken heat for not being so.

Yeah we shouldn’t give them a return game to Provo

They ain’t coming. Collect the check and move on.

Or do you prefer we give them two more home games

UMass, liberty, any MAC team

I’m OK with playing these two, but could be 2:1s, ideally.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to complain about games scheduled we couldn’t even win. Should be no

Yes, no FCS teams, ever.

FCS games are nice to develop young players especially with new redshirt rule

And no MAC teams either

Play them too. No reason to exclude MAC schools.

We're not going to get Big 10 teams every time we want to go to the Midwest.

True but travel needs to be limited. It affects winning.

Mojave

You know nothing then. The links absolutely show bigotry, and you're lying
