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

Another person familiar with the situation said Louisiana Tech had notified Conference USA Commissioner Judy MacLeod of its intent to move to the Sun Belt. That person spoke on condition of anonymity because MacLeod had not yet commented publicly on the matter, which was first reported by ESPN.

Louisiana Tech announced Tuesday that it is leaving Conference USA to join the Sun Belt Conference no later than July 1, 2027.
