The announcement was made on June 8, 2016.• Details regarding how the two participants will be selected will be available at a later date. Rules set forward by the Division I Council in January require conferences with fewer than 12 members to hold championship games in football, as long as they meet one of two condi-tions. • A conference can choose to either play their championship game between division winners after round-robin competition in each division or between the top two teams in the confer-ence standings following full round-robin, regular-season competition between all members of the conference.
HUDSPETH HEADS THE SUN BELT COACHING FRATERNITY• Now in his seventh year at Louisiana, head coach Mark Hudspeth is the dean of the Sun Belt Conference coaching fraternity, having taken over the reins of the Ragin’ Cajuns program in 2011.• Hudspeth, in his 14th season as a head coach, spent seven years as head coach at North Alabama and was an assistant at five schools, including FBS programs Navy and Mississippi State.
