Sun Belt Future is Now
NEW ORLEANS - Sun Belt Conference commissioner Karl Benson did not lack for optimism Monday when he gave his views of where league football will be over the next half-decade.
“In the next five years, we will have a team play in a New Year’s Day bowl game, and we will be in the top three each year among our peer conferences in our football performance,” Benson said in his annual “State of the Conference” address to kick off Monday’s media day activities.
Benson has reason for that optimism, with the Sun Belt coming off the most successful football season in its 16-year history.
