Sun Belt revamps its scheduling, postseason
In an effort to boost its national profile and protect its best teams, the Sun Belt Conference announced Monday that it was relocating its men's and women's postseason tournament semifinal and championship games to an NBA arena in New Orleans in 2020 and that the tailend of next season's regular season schedule would set the best men's programs against each other.
The decision was made Monday at the conclusion of the Sun Belt Presidents and Chancellors meeting in Atlanta, bringing to fruition an idea that top officials had been considering for several years.
