NEW ORLEANS – For the past five years, the Sun Belt Conference has operated under the slogan of “Together We Rise.”
Sun Belt Commissioner Karl Benson, in his annual “State of the Conference” address at the league’s Football Media Day activities Monday, said the Sun Belt has in many ways “risen” past that original slogan.
“In every key indicator that can be used to evaluate the strength of a conference, the Sun Belt has risen in recent years,” Benson said. “In contrast to some leagues, our attendance is up and we’ve provided record end-of-year distribution to our schools that is 10 times greater than it was in 2014.
