Liberty may have tons of money, but they will never be a strong powerhouse unless they get into a conference bigger than what they are in. Strong conferences are made from top to bottom, not just one or two good programs. Btw, so what the Ncaa expands the playoff teams, can't see Liberty being the next Bama. Plus I can't see Liberty having a TV interest like say the Sec or Big 10 programs.
Because they knew that Freeze would bolt the second he built them up. But when he built them up they knew they needed to stay at that level. So they went out, hired a great HC, and made his buyout 8 figures so if someone really wanted him they would have to pay up and Liberty would have even more money to go get the next coach. They are protecting their valuable assets.
