More than likely, it is about money. Liberty must have given them such a great deal that it offsets the extra costs due to the distance. Similar decisions have been made here in Oregon. Venue costs for the tournament can, in some venues, be the overwhelming element in the total cost. It varies widely with the University of Oregon being the least friendly financially....so much so that they have stopped having tournaments there in favor of much cheaper options.
Finances have a much greater impact than location, we have learned. Still, even though VHSL says otherwise, they would not be leaving Liberty had not the university president, Jerry Jr, commented something to the affect that more students and faculty should be armed to ward off a Muslim attack
