Louisiana Tech will become the second Conference USA school to depart since Missouri State announced it was joining the league last May.

The Sun Belt Conference has formally approved a proposal to extend a membership invitation to Louisiana Tech, a person familiar with the situation said. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity on Monday because the Sun Belt has not announced the membership offer,

ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported Monday morning that the conference’s CEOs voted to add the Bulldogs as the league’s 14th member. Louisiana Tech would replace Texas State, which will depart after the 2025-26 athletic year to join the Pac-12.
