FCS conference belt
The Metro Atlantic Athletic Belt
A companion lineage restricted to Metro Atlantic Athletic: the belt passes to whoever beats the holder, exactly like the real belt, but only games between two Metro Atlantic Athletic members COUNT — and only for the seasons both sides were actually in Metro Atlantic Athletic at the time. This belt is retired. Marist held it when Metro Atlantic Athletic played its last game on November 10, 2007, and the reign is closed as of June 30, 2008: the MAAC stopped sponsoring football after the 2007 season.

Membership is judged season by season from every game a team played, so realignment moves a team’s games with it. A holder that stays in Metro Atlantic Athletic keeps the belt through any stretch without a game against another member; a holder that leaves vacates the belt on its last game as a member, and it reverts to the most recent earlier holder that is a member of the season it left for. If no one is left to inherit it, the belt retires with its last holder. Days count the offseason; switch to games to measure a reign by belt games only.
