Nah, the Sun Belt is now a strong brand. It's not 2009 anymore. It's not the Belch. Heads are turning and people are impressed. At least one Belt team has finished ranked three years in a row. Three schools moved to the Belt from another FBS league. "Sun Belt" is a brand of strength now.

I'm fine with SBC, too, but "Sun Belt" is working.
No doubt and I too agree it’s not 2009. Nothing wrong with saying Sun Belt Conference…I just personally feel now is the time to strike with the branding of SBC.

Hey, just wanted to clear up: I wasn't intending to be snarky towards you when I said it isn't 2009. Of course you know what year it is. What I meant is that the national perception is almost 100% different from what it was 12 or 13 years ago. The SB is widely regarded for being right in the mix for top G5 along with the MW and new AAC. No one besides maybe jealous Tech fans or pompous new AAC schools call us the Belch.
Absolutely! I knew exactly what you meant. The point was well taken too.

I like that ESPN always likes to say Fun Belt... The announcers use it constantly... they hashtag #FunBelt across the screen... and even Scott Van Pelt has mentioned the Fun Belt a few times right after an SBC on ESPN game concludes and relays directly over to his show.

But, it seems the conference is pushing the "SBC" branding pretty well.

The Sun Belt name today is definitely not perceived the same way it was back 20 years ago, or even 10 years ago... just like the CUSA of 10-20 years ago is no longer perceived the same way.

SBC is really similar to SEC, but then AAC is really similar to ACC. I propose if we decide to go exclusively by SBC, then the MAC should rebrand as BIG MAC.
