The Sun Belt Conference has fixed up its logo to go along with its involvement of the college football realignment phase.

Commissioner Karl Benson released a statement that included the new direction of the conference, which says goodbye to Florida Atlantic, FIU, Middle Tennessee, and North Texas, and welcomes Georgia State and Texas State as full-time members.

“The unveiling of our new logo comes after months of review of how we wanted to express the ‘new’ Sun Belt Conference,” said Benson. “It is a very exciting chance for us to display the opportunity and optimism that exists in the Sun Belt Conference as we move forward.”

The conference has also added the motto “Together We Rise.” Idaho and New Mexico State will join in 2014, with Appalachian State and Georgia Southern moving up in 2015.

Sun Belt Donuts?

Yuck - we leave the conference, and now they can't even get their logo right... :shifty:

There was nothing wrong with the old logo - it was one of the better conference logos IMHO

"Together We Rise" seems appropriate, though perhaps a little too honest, given the conference is essentially a layover from FCS until a better FBS conference comes calling. Which was basically our experience.

I don't really mind the logo change as I felt the old one was outdated. This one has a West Coast feel to it (which could be called incongruent, given its geographical location). But using a design like this will all but guarantee they'll be changing it again in 10 years, as it isn't a "timeless" look like the Big XII and ACC... or even C-USA.

In short, I think they over-thought it.

I think it looks like the shutter of a camera. Agree that the old one was better. That looks like a 70's ad or something.

Putting cheap lipstick on a pig.

Well, you certainly wouldn't want to use the expensive stuff. I mean, it doesn't make them kiss any better. Not that I know from experience, mind you...unless "pig" is a euphemism for "evil harlot". In which case, I certainly know from experience, and it still doesn't help in the kissing department.

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
