Liberty Football Bragged About Its Team GPA, and College Football Fans Had Jokes
The Flames posted a flex on social media, but observers brought sarcasm to the party.
Liberty just enjoyed its most successful season at the FBS level, registering a 13–1 record to go with a Conference USA championship and a Fiesta Bowl berth.
Now, the program is flexing about its feats in the classroom—but not everyone is impressed.
The Flames took to social media Friday to crow about their academic success, boasting about the team’s 2.96 cumulative grade-point average.
“Getting it done in the classroom,” the team posted on X, formerly Twitter.
