FCS Conference Belt The Western Athletic Belt

The Western Athletic Belt

A companion lineage restricted to Western Athletic: the belt passes to whoever beats the holder, exactly like the real belt, but only games between two Western Athletic members COUNT — and only for the seasons both sides were actually in Western Athletic at the time. Arizona caught it but left Western Athletic — since this belt only passes among Western Athletic members, it reverted back to Colorado State on December 26, 2012.
