Which athletic conference is the university a member of?

• A. Sunbelt Conference
• B. Pacific-12 Conference
• C. Southeastern Conference
• D. Atlantic Coast Conference

Answer: (A)

Understanding which conference a university belongs to comes from its official athletics affiliation. This university is listed as a member of the Sun Belt Conference on its athletics page and in the NCAA directory. The Sun Belt is a regional, mid-major conference in the southern United States that sponsors a wide range of sports. The other conferences represent different geographic footprints and program scales: Pac-12 is primarily West Coast, Southeastern Conference is in the Southeast, and the Atlantic Coast Conference is mainly along the East Coast. So, given the university’s official affiliation and regional alignment, the Sun Belt is the correct conference.
