The Sun Belt Conference released a statement Tuesday morning declining contract extensions to the University of Idaho and New Mexico State as a football-only members.
“We are disappointed by the Sun Belt’s decision,” said University of Idaho President Chuck Staben in a university statement. “But we are optimistic about the options before us and we are continuing to diligently consider our future affiliation as an opportunity to find the stability and full participation we have not experienced in the Sun Belt. We will make a decision in the coming months.”
Sun Belt President Denise Trauth announced the conference decision Tuesday morning during a media teleconference.
