The shuffle of schools around college conferences has resulted in the addition of a men's soccer conference for the 2014 season. After an 18-year hiatus, the Sun Belt will reintroduce men's soccer, the first championship it ever held when the conference was launched in 1976. Georgia State is the only current member to sponsor men's soccer, but Appalachian State and Georgia Southern will become Sun Belt schools in 2014 and independents Hartwick, Howard and NJIT will join as affiliate members. (Hartwick spent the last seven years in the Mid-American Conference.) The teams will play a five-game regular-season schedule and all teams will advance to the playoffs. The Sun Belt will also have an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. It previously sponsored men's soccer for 20 years (1976-95). "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," said Sun Belt Conference commissioner Karl Benson.
