“We are delighted to welcome Marshall, Old Dominion, and Southern Miss as full members of the Sun Belt Conference on July 1, 2022. With the addition of James Madison, the Sun Belt will increase to 14 member institutions with passionate fan bases,” said SBC Commissioner Keith Gill. “This expansion will produce even stronger regional rivalries – something we’re very much looking forward to this fall. Our future is bright, and the 2022-23 academic year promises to be one of the most anticipated in Sun Belt history."
