Hercules Tires Sun Belt Football Championship Game
Coastal Carolina at UCLA on September 2nd!!
The SBC should soon add Eastern Kentucky and Stephen F. Austin so that this can be the Thanksgiving week schedule:
Appalachian State-Coastal Carolina
Arkansas State-Southern Miss
Eastern Kentucky-Marshall
Georgia Southern-Georgia State
James Madison-Old Dominion
Louisiana-ULM
South Alabama-Troy
Stephen F. Austin-Texas State
Or they should add La. Tech and Liberty so it could be:
Marshall-Liberty
James Madison-Old Dominion
Appalachian State-Coastal Carolina
Georgia Southern-Georgia State
South Alabama-Troy
Southern Miss-La. Tech
Louisiana-ULM
Arkansas State-Texas State
Two teams per state.
What I mean was I want no more than two schools from a single state in the Sun Belt. So Louisiana and Virginia are already maxed out. Eastern Kentucky and SFA are OK because the SBC doesn’t have any members in Kentucky now, and just one in Texas.
