Old Dominion, Marshall and Southern Miss have reportedly finalized a separation agreement from Conference USA. ESPN’s Pete Thamel was the first to report the agreement.
On Tuesday evening, the league put out a statement announcing the agreement, which will let the schools leave for the Sun Belt ahead of the upcoming 2022 season.
The terms of the separation have been agreed upon but are not expected to be made public. All three schools—which accepted invitations to join the Sun Belt in October—announced in February that they were ending their alliance with C-USA in June 2022 to move to the new conference.
