Sun Belt: New Divisions and Tournament Format Coming in 2006-07



Changes Coming to Sun Belt: The Sun Belt Conference announced today new divisions and a new format for the Sun Belt Tournament, starting in 2006-07. The tournament shuffle will award first-round byes to the top team in each division, and one “wild card” as the next-best team in the conference. The first rounds will be played at campus sites. The divisional alignment will feature Arkansas State, Arkansas-Little Rock, Denver, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe and New Orleans in one western division, and Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Middle Tennessee State, South Alabama, Troy and Western Kentucky in an eastern division, though the divisions haven’t yet been named.
