Liberty Agreed to Pay $1.32 Million for Home Opener

Liberty University will stop at nothing, it seems, to raise the profile of its football program. Last fall, it hired disgraced former Baylor athletic director Ian McCaw, who resigned from Baylor when it came out that he took part in covering up reports of rapes that involved university football players. That didn't stop Liberty from welcoming him with open arms. McCaw described his intention to elevate Liberty to the level of Notre Dame, and Liberty's president Jerry Falwell Jr.—the man who once exhorted his students to end those Muslims—praised McCaw's tenure at Baylor, calling his hiring exciting.
