Idaho and New Mexico State will no longer be 'football only' members of the Sun Belt after 2017. Both were part of the former WAC and spent one season as independents before rejoining the Sun Belt as football-only members in 2014.

There are reports that Idaho is considering joining the Big Sky conference, which would most likely bring a return to FCS status for their football team. Idaho was a I-AA / FCS program for nearly 20 years before rejoining I-A/FBS in 1996.

IU has home games scheduled against Idaho in 2021 and 2022. Idaho also has games scheduled against Penn State, Florida, and LSU in the years after their Sun Belt departure.
