So you are in agreement we were never football participants in the Belch.
If we are counting Non-football/Affiliate members then case we need to add South Carolina and Kentucky, Alabama, Army, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Tennessee, UT, and WVU...

We were not affiliate members of the Belt. We were full conference members.
