Yeah, Liberty is a cesspool of sliminess (just look who their AD is). I agree the only thing Texas State agreed to have a game with them is because we are getting paid a shit-ton moneyFuture Texas State Football Schedules | FBSchedules.com

I'm pretty disappointed that our AD put them on the schedule. The silver lining is that I don't see them coming to San Marcos on the site so we're probably getting a good payday to go there. I think they paid ODU over a million for their first game there.
So Liberty is a private evangelical Christian school ran by Jerry Farwell Jr. And well there is a lot of controversy surrounding them because they use most the funds given to the school are used by Farwell's family and his close-knit group of friends for their own personal gain (this article explains it better https://www.vox.com/identities/2019/9/13/20857490/jerry-falwell-jr-liberty-university-real-estate-self-dealing-polls-trump). On top of that they hired Ian McCraw as the AD after McCraw got fired for his role in the Baylor sexual assault scandal then hire Hugh Freeze as the football coach after Freeze got fired at Ole Miss for basically daring the NCAA to prove he was paying players (which he was and apparently was using the school phone to hire escort services to entice recruits)
What is a reasonable purse for this game?Future Texas State Football Schedules | FBSchedules.com

Liberty will beat us down. They beat Baylor and others and have looked better recently. They pay way more for coaching then we do. They have millions more sports thanks to their diploma mill and tax free money.I can only imagine the heckling we will get for the whole '666' zip code, when it's their own President who does the bidding of the fallen angel.
I'll watch it just because it ****should**** be a beat down of epic proportions, heck.....I might even travel to watch it. I have a Bobcat teammate who lives in the area and it would be nice to catch up with him and his family.
Liberty paid ODU 1.3 million to play them, but Liberty also knew that ODU would sellout the stadium so they probably made a lot if not all of it back. I don't think we'll bring many fans to the middle of nowhere in Virginia or be as interesting to a Lib fan.

We have to be getting something from a one off game with THAT school though, either a decent payday or a return game that isn't announced for whatever reason. I could see us doing a one off with a G5 if something happened on a short notice and we desperately need a game, but we still have plenty of time until 2024. I took a glance at the future schedules for a few regional teams and La Tech, UTEP, Rice, UNT, NM, Tulsa, UH, all need a home game in 2024, as do UAB, USM, Utah St, and Memphis. If we were going to do a one off away game why not one of them?
Why would we ever “need” a road game. Travel will be a logistical cluster. Nothing to be gained from playing this one and just one more example of Fire Larry’s ineptitude.
