After two schools joined the conference in three days, the Sun Belt has added another to the roster, one very familiar to App State and its fans.
Marshall University accepted an invitation to the Sun Belt Conference Oct. 29 and are expected to join the East Division. The move extends the Sun Belt’s foothold into West Virginia and pushes the conference to 13 football programs.
“We should play those guys every single year. It’s great for college football,” App State football head coach Shawn Clark said after this year’s win.
Clark was a part of the former rivalry, playing for the Mountaineers from 1994-98.
