Liberty Contemplating Lawsuit Re: Conference Membership?

[BeauFoster]

My concern is that LU will try to sue the schools in the conference, along with the Belt.

Our defense is pretty easy. Line up Liberty vs. CCU in the big three sports and CCU has the better track record. And their location is better being close to three SBC schools, not one.

I don't think they would have any case, but I'd hate to waste university money on a frivolous lawsuit.

"We didn't get what we wanted, so it must be because we are religious. We're gonna sue you meanies!" They tried to buy their way in and still couldn't make any friends. Screw Liberty.

To be fair that mantra is the default reasoning for any "oppressed" party entering into a discrimination lawsuit, be it for racial inequalities, sexual orientation, etc. I dare say half or better of those lawsuits are won by the plaintiffs, or at least settled out-of-court, regardless of whether any actual discriminatory offense took place, so I guess if Liberty were to proceed they would be thinking along those lines.

Certainly a way to curry favor with the SBC.

This is reminicent (sp) of the way ECU bullied its way into forcing UNC and NC-State into scheduling them in Greenville. However, that battle had more public and legislative support.
