The Sun Belt Conference (SBC) is a conference of 14 universities which participate in the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Division I. As of the 2022 season, all 14 full members play football in the conference. Although the SBC was formed in 1976, it did not sponsor football until 2001.
The conference announced that beginning in 2018, the conference (10 teams after the departure of Idaho and New Mexico State)[1] would split into two divisions for football. In the East: Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, and Troy; In the West: Arkansas State, Louisiana, Louisiana–Monroe, South Alabama, and Texas State. The winners of each division meet in the Sun Belt Championship Game.[2] Beginning in 2022, the SBC added the Marshall Thundering Herd, James Madison Dukes, Old Dominion Monarchs, and Southern Miss Golden Eagles football programs to the conference, with the Alabama–Georgia border serving as the new dividing line for the divisions. Accordingly, the Troy Trojans moved from the East Division to the West Division, where Southern Miss joined them. Marshall, JMU, and ODU joined the East division at that time.[3]
