My attempt to count the sports for each member school to see who is at the minimum. The 3 schools I'm fairly confident are over the minimum are App State (even after the subtraction of sports), Coastal Carolina, and Little Rock. The "running sports" make things confusing.

Any corrections are appreciated.

I'm guessing "The "running sports" make things confusing." refers to cross country and track & field. A school with men's and women's XC, men's and women's indoor T&F, and men's and women's outdoor T&F is counted as 6 sports (3m/3w). Although some of the athletes are the same, each sport is counted separately.

Arkansas State doesn't have a Men's Track and Field? I'd be interested how we got all of the NCAA All Americans, Sunbelt Champs, etc. with no team. Not to mention both our Men's and Women's track team won the Indoor championship just a few months ago...

In the Non-SBC sports, we also have Softball(club sport unfortunately) and a Top Rugby program.

Sun Belt sponsors 18 championships - separate for Indoor and Outdoor T&F

UTA and UALR are at 15 sports (1 over minimum)
Ark State, Georgia State, ULL, Texas State and Troy are at Minimum
App State, GSU, ULM and USA are 1 over
CCU is 3 over

So, am I reading this right that Little Rock and UTA need only sponsor 14 sports, since they aren’t FBS, but are still in an FBS conference? I’m not complaining; I just am curious.

For schools with FBS football, 16 is the minimum; 14 is the minimum for D1.

Division I members have to sponsor at least 14 sports. This is required for all SBC teams including UTA and Little Rock. That can be 7 men and 7 women sports, or 6 men and 8 women sports. The 16 sport minimum is only for Division I teams that sponsor FBS football.

Louisiana does not have women's golf.

AState has Mens Track and Field. Its where we get large portions of Bubbas Cup Points

Bowling is the one sport we offer that is not SBC Sponsored.

it is all laid out pretty clearly here
