On April 14, 2021, South Carolina–Beaufort reported that the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II's Peach Belt Conference invited the Sand Sharks to join the conference in 2022 after applying for membership in and gaining acceptance into the NCAA.[3] Also on that day, USCB planned to add men's and women's basketball as a condition of its NCAA and Peach Belt membership. The teams in that sport were intended to play their first season in 2023–24.[4][5]
