Initial thoughts on Liberty joining the FBS as an Independent?

Cyrus Smith: What?! I know there had been talks before but I didn’t think they would actually do it. Once they hired the Baylor AD I figured in a year or so we would hear some news about them joining the FBS if conference alignment was to go down again. But to make make the leap as an Independent is a strange one. Not exactly a ton of G5 teams reaping the benefits of being a FBS program.

Jared Kalmus: Pretty shocked.
