UNDATED (AP) _ The Sun Belt Conference will split into two five-team divisions,
broken up simply by east and west, starting in 2018.
The conference announced its divisions Tuesday after the end of its spring
meetings.
The East Division will include Appalachian State, Georgia Southern, Coastal
Carolina, Georgia State and Troy. The West Division will have Arkansas State,
South Alabama, Louisiana-Monroe, Louisiana-Lafayette and Texas State.
The winners of each division will meet in the championship game, which will be
played at the home stadium of the team with the best College Football Playoff
ranking.
Sun Belt administrators also approved a collaborative instant replay system for
football that will be modeled on the Southeastern Conference’s setup and
officials in a central location to review replays and assist instant replay
officials at each game.
