The Sun Belt is also noteworthy for its attempts to make each of its championship events in every sport a special moment in the lives of its student-athletes and its many fans and followers.

The league hosts championships in 23 sports, including neutral-site events at some of the finest facilities in the nation – football (Ford Field, Detroit), men’s and women’s basketball (Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse, Cleveland), softball (Firestone Stadium, Akron) and baseball (Sprenger Stadium, Avon, Ohio). The MAC secured a two-year contract extension with Ford Field to host the MAC Football Championship Game through the 2021 football season.

Conference USA continues to compete and promote the success of its student-athletes. The league has adapted to the ever-changing landscape of collegiate athletics in its 26-year history, but the commitment to excellence, integrity, leadership and its student-athletes in competition, academics and community is unwavering.
