A person with direct knowledge of the decision tells The Associated Press that the Sun Belt will implement a football championship game in 2018.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity Tuesday night because the conference had an announcement planned on Wednesday during a teleconference with Commissioner Karl Benson and Texas State President Denise Trauth.
With the Big 12 announcing last week it will bring its championship game back in 2017, the Sun Belt becomes the last of the 10 FBS conferences to play a football title game.
In 2018, the Sun Belt is set to be a 10-team conference. Football-only members Idaho and New Mexico State are departing the conference after 2017 and Coastal Carolina is moving up from FCS to join the Sun Belt in 2018.
