This season marks the 22nd since Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns joined the Sun Belt Conference.  It was actually a merger between the Sun Belt and the American South Conferences, plus one addition (Arkansas-Little Rock.)  Of the eleven members who were in the league for that first season in 1991-92, six of them (Jacksonville, UCF, Lamar, Louisiana Tech, Texas-Pan American and New Orleans) are gone.
