When is the 2026 schedule coming out? I thought it usually is out by now.

End of Feb last year.
Personally would like for them to wait until after SBC bball tournament. Given tournament is one week earlier than major conferences, announce next week after bball tournament is over.
Drip, drip drip that SBC news

Delayed due to issues with Louisiana Tech joining the Sun Belt this year. SI has an article about it but I can’t get the link to work.

Bizarre that it would take them two months to figure out how to schedule one extra school. :oops:

Fans have to commit to their season tix when they dont even know the dates for the games. Bush league.

I’m sure they have two versions of the schedule ready.

If La Tech can’t join until 2027 then does the Sun Belt go without divisions for a season? Odd number of teams without La Tech.

That seems like the most plausible step.

If this is such a donkey rodeo, I’m even less optimistic about the SBC’s ability to negotiate the next TV contract. And I wasn’t optimistic or even ambivalent to begin with.

He and Gillin must read the same leadership books; the resemblances are striking.

I am not surprised when you consider how they looked down at the SBC at one point and now the SBC is able to poach pretty much any team it wants from CUSA.

CUSA learned from the Marshall/ODU/USM mismanaged contract and better prepared this time around.

One of the Cajun reporters is claiming the schedule might come out Friday with 14 Sun Belt teams.

Conference USA just announced its schedule including Louisiana Tech. At 9:40 p.m. ET.

They did the same tactic in 2022 with ODU, Marshall and SoMiss.

Tech needs to pay what the contract requires and move on.No more. No less.

I believe they changed the bylaws after the SB3 left CUSA and adopted a GOR type contract. Going to be difficult to get LA Tech this year unless they pay out, shouldn't have accepted the 2025 payments...

If I'm the App scheduling in charge of flights/hotels let's just say I'd hold off booking anything.
