Marshall, Old Dominion and Southern Miss on both C-USA and Sun Belt schedules for 2022
While Conference USA insists all three departing members will play with them this fall, the Sun Belt is moving forward with the Herd, Monarchs and Eagles.
Two weeks ago today, Conference USA released its 2022 schedule. That slate included Marshall, Old Dominion and Southern Miss, who only days before informed the conference that, as far as they were concerned, each program had played its final C-USA game.
Marshall and Southern Miss are currently suing their current/former conference, hoping the courts will help them expedite their departure from C-USA.

Marshall sues Conference USA to push up departure for Sun Belt Marshall has filed a lawsuit against Conference USA to expedite its exit from the league so it can join the Sun Belt this summer, according to a copy of the case filed Tuesday. Earlier this month, Marshall, Old Dominion and Southern Miss announced their plans to terminate their memberships in Conference USA on June 30 to become members of the Sun Belt. In mid-February, Conference USA released its 2022 football schedule, which included all three schools, and pledged to "exhaust all necessary legal actions" to ensure the outgoing members would participate this fall. www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/33354627/marshall-sues-conference-usa-push-departure-sun-belt |

Why a West Virginia court case could have an impact on Southern Miss and the Sun Belt At least one attorney believes the odds of Southern Miss competing in the Sun Belt Conference this year are good. The University of Southern Mississippi is closely watching a court case in West Virginia that could decide the league that USM will be a member of beginning in July. A temporary ruling Thursday could hint toward the outcome Read more at: www.sunherald.com/sports/college/conference-usa/university-of-southern-mississippi/article258744043.html#storylink=cpy |

It's getting ugly. Noticed how the Big 12 halted Texas and Oklahoma from leaving immediately. It'll be interesting to see how this shakes out.
