"Nine teams will comprise Sun Belt Conference men's soccer; three of the new Sun Belt members (as of July 1) James Madison, Marshall, and Old Dominion will join Coastal Carolina, Georgia Southern, and Georgia State. In addition, Kentucky, South Carolina, and West Virginia will compete as affiliate members for men's soccer only. The Sun Belt Conference previously sponsored men's soccer from 1976-1995 and 2014-20. "
This is only for 2022.
Kentucky and South Carolina and West Virginia may prefer the stability of a conference that has not stopped sponsorship twice.
If we exclude Kentucky and West Virginia, then the AAC is the better conference and the schools are closer to being peers.
What are you basing that on? Nowhere in the article does it say it's just for 2022, the wording makes it seem like it's there permanent home, at least until the next round of realignment.
I agree that they will be in the conference until they are not.
