What kills the belt is adding sh!tty football schools with even worse bb program. The funny thing is the new schools are better in football than the current members. So Troy, FIU, FAM and the like will just move through. While ulm, ull, a state, middle tenn just keep playing in the belt and whoring their football teams out.
They hate on tech pretty hard on the sunbelt board but you could name the bcs teams the belt has wins against on one hand. Tech beats a bcs team just about every year.
Sadly, with all the schools in the belt thinking about how to leave the belt the a.d.'s never fix anything that is wrong with the belt.
ualr, uno, usa will always be in the belt even if some football schools were to leave.
ualr lives at the mersey of the 1aa football programs that believe they are 1a football programs.
Anyway, if you live in Little Rock ualr is on the raise with a new arena and a coaching staff that can coach. Come check them out.
