James Madison Accepts Invitation to Sun Belt Conference
NEW ORLEANS, La. - The Sun Belt Conference announced Saturday the addition of James Madison University into the league after a unanimous vote of the Sun Belt CEOs. JMU will join the Sun Belt Conference no later than July 1, 2023.
"We are thrilled to welcome James Madison University to the Sun Belt Conference," said Keith Gill, Sun Belt Conference Commissioner. "This move brings another strong brand and passionate fanbase into the Sun Belt and elevates the Dukes' storied football program to the highest level of NCAA competition. I am grateful to JMU President Jonathan Alger and Athletics Director Jeff Bourne for their leadership during this process and look forward to working closely with them moving forward."
The addition of JMU will bring the number of Sun Belt members to 16, with the Dukes joining current members — App State, Little Rock, Arkansas State, Coastal Carolina, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Louisiana, ULM, South Alabama, UTA, Texas State and Troy — and new additions Southern Miss, Old Dominion and Marshall, which were welcomed to the Sun Belt Conference last week.
