Sun Belt Backs Off Money Games

Sun Belt Conference commissioner Karl Benson wants the league’s football programs to work on shedding their “addiction” to big-money, non-conference matchups with heavily favored, Power Five programs. More non-league games with “peer conferences” would improve the chances of a Sun Belt team going unbeaten and getting a bid to one of six prestigious New Year’s Day bowl games, the commissioner said at the conference’s media day Monday. “As nice as it is and as great as it is to win a game against one of the ‘Big Five’ - I don’t want to minimize that - but right now, in the system that we have, competition with our peer conferences is so important,” Benson said. “Those are the games that we really need to focus on”/ Associated Press .
