As of this time we are at twelve , USM makes the 13th in 2023 .I do expect there to be 14 at that time though including the loss of UTA and ALR.

More chatter than years past up here in the Shenandoah Valley about JMU moving up, and joining the Sun Belt. I sense that announcement will happen soon.

Seems JMU and Marshall are both going to happen, just matter of when. Think JMU's board called a meeting for Friday?

I'm really stoked about these adds in the east. None of the current SBC destinations are attractive, especially given the distances.

Southern Miss and ODU don't really add a lot of strength to the Sunbelt but they will add dollars to everyone's bottom line with lower travel costs. Once Marshall and JMU join in my opinion they will be very relevant right off the bat. The east will be the toughest division in the G5 in a couple of years. Its going to be exciting to watch. It will also be interesting to see if CUSA can survive in any form.
