In naming it Liberty, Falwell was just being ironic.

My friend, who I met at Sister Jeanās LUC went to Liberty for undergrad on a golf scholarship. He said they had a lot of rules. They even had spotters standing outside of the local theater to make sure that no students went to R rated movies. He did not like going to Liberty. I would not have liked it eitherā¦
My friend would be able to answer you better but off the cuff it does not seem like a strange name to me. It is not uncommon for theologians to distinguish between different types of Liberty/ freedom. Freedom from versus freedom to. If you are interested you might want to take a look at some online essays. It has been a few years but I suspect search terms that might yield some good results would be: āKant, Wille versus Willkur, Metaphysics of moralsā.

Some guy named Steven Crowl is out there for Wisconsin right now. Heās listed at 7ā0 but heās clearly shorter than Ruevers
how is it possible that a player is getting his first minutes of the year in a tournament game?

Thereās a lot to type here, and I donāt mean that disrespectfully at all (just in case it could come across that way). This article explains it really well but boiling it down, according to the Bible, Christianity isnāt about the rules & regulations. Those things simply point people to their need for a Savior, and that Jesus is that Savior. Freedom (or liberty) as a concept can make sense because the Bible says people are saved by grace, through faith in Jesus, not by following rules perfectly.
All that said, Iām not particularly a fan of Liberty U or everything they do, etc. Just wanted to explain how the name could make sense according to the beliefs.

Liberty is actually a significant biblical concept, eg Galatians 5:1- Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
In that sense it refers to the fact that salvation is given by grace through Christ without works, and the believer is then freed from the burden and inevitability of sin (though they can, of course, still sin, thus the encouragement to ābe not entangled.ā)
āLibertyā is a reasonably common name for religious institutions, particularly Baptist ones. And I would know.
Edit: looks like Adam got in before I did.
