FCS Conference Belt The Big South Belt

The Big South Belt

A companion lineage restricted to Big South: the belt passes to whoever beats the holder, exactly like the real belt, but only games between two Big South members COUNT — and only for the seasons both sides were actually in Big South at the time. Stony Brook caught it but left Big South — since this belt only passes among Big South members, it reverted back to Liberty on December 1, 2022.
