“Our new affiliate members provide us with a full field of competitive teams and we welcome them to the Sun Belt Conference.” The Sun Belt will conduct a championship at one of the six institutions with the winner earning an automatic qualifying bid to the NCAA Men’s Soccer Championship. “The reintroduction of men’s soccer to the Sun Belt Conference means that we will be able to provide valuable opportunities for student-athletes and deliver them a first-class championship experience,” Sun Belt commissioner Karl Benson said. "It took some out of the box thinking and conference partnerships, but we were able to come up with a great solution that gives our student-athletes a chance to compete in a league for an NCAA Tournament bid." Full-time members Appalachian State, Georgia Southern, and Georgia State will play alongside affiliate members Hartwick, Howard, and the New Jersey Institute of Technology in a single round robin schedule. "Since last spring when we announced the department's move to the Sun Belt, we've been working hard to find a conference home for our Men's Soccer team," GSU athletics director Tom Kleinlein said. The Eagles will compete in the six-team league beginning in the fall of 2014 with an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament on the line. NEW ORLEANS - Georgia Southern men’s soccer has a new home with the re-introduction of the Sun Belt Conference for men’s soccer.
