Texas Arlington plans to accept an invitation to join the Sun Belt Conference, pending the approval of the school's board of regents, a source said.

The Mavericks, coming from the Southland Conference, will join Texas State and Georgia State as new members of the Sun Belt, which lost North Texas and Florida International to Conference USA this week.

UT Arlington does not play football, although the school intends to explore building a football program after completing an upgrade of the baseball and softball facilities.

Wow, DFW will have a division one school in the CUSA, the Big East, the Big 12 and the Sun Belt. Both the Big 12 and CUSA are headquartered here. Hopefully see greater fan enthusiasm and media coverage for college sports. DFW the center of college sports in Texas.
