Liberty University football wins, but at what cost?
(RNS) — Liberty University has long bragged about being one of America’s largest Christian colleges, but this year, even after suffering its first loss by one point on Saturday (Nov. 21), it can also boast about its nationally ranked football team. The Flames have racked up a series of upsets, including wins over Syracuse and Virginia Tech, en route to an 8-1 record and a debut appearance in the Associated Press top-25 rankings.
No one predicted this day would come — except Liberty’s founder, the Rev. Jerry Falwell Sr.
“The difference between mediocrity and greatness is vision,” the late Falwell Sr. often declared.
