==Sports== As of the current 2024–25 school year, the Sun Belt Conference sponsors championship competition in nine men's and eleven women's NCAA sanctioned sports.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sunbeltsports.org/|title=Sun Belt Conference|publisher=Sunbeltsports.org|access-date=May 28, 2015}}</ref> The most recent change to sports sponsorship was the reinstatement of women's swimming and diving in 2023–24. When Marshall was formally introduced as an incoming Sun Belt member, SBC commissioner Keith Gill also announced that the conference would reinstate men's soccer once all new members joined. Men's soccer resumed play in 2022–23 with six full members joined by three associates; a fourth associate joined in 2023–24. Beach volleyball started play with eight members, evenly divided between full members and associates.
