Statement from Commissioner Gill Regarding Conference Realignment

Related Topics: The Sun

"The Sun Belt Conference could not have positioned itself better for this moment as the landscape shifts across conferences. We have never been stronger. The Sun Belt is the best non-autonomy FBS conference in the country. We were the only non-A5 conference with two teams ranked in both preseason polls. We finished last year with two teams ranked in the final CFP and we’ve led the FBS in postseason winning percentage the last five years.

I spoke to our conference CEOs and ADs yesterday about the current realignment in a few FBS conferences and how it puts us in a more advantageous position for our programs to thrive.
