Sun Belt Conference, a privately owned entity headquartered in the US, was founded in 1976, operates with approximately 30 employees, and reported $8.9M in revenue as of 2023. The company's primary focus is spectator sports, functioning as a collegiate athletic conference affiliated with the NCAA's Division I since its inception.
Conference USA and Louisiana Tech announced on April 28, 2026, they reached a settlement, allowing the Bulldogs to depart CUSA this summer and join the Sun Belt Conference for the 2026-27 academic year. This resolution concludes a prolonged legal dispute where Louisiana Tech aimed to leave Conference USA earlier than its contract stipulated without paying the full exit fee. The agreement followed a settlement in principle reached by both parties on April 21, moving Louisiana Tech closer to its desired July 1 move to the Sun Belt. Previously, on March 5, Louisiana Tech filed a lawsuit against Conference USA, requesting an injunction to facilitate its move to the Sun Belt Conference in 2026.
