Full membership didn't happen until 1966. But, we never completed in D-II or lower. It was the transition period. We were full member but, did compete at the D-1 level from 1961 onward.

I understand the struggle in proving either side of this argument and thus, I'd side with the ECU fans. They best know what ECU was attempting to do in the early to mid 60s.

The 50's and early 60's were a bit confusing. Small college VS Large college was a common term used that later evolved into 1A vs 1AA and FCS/FBS. Scholarship rules were very relaxed, if they existed at all. Regardless of actual designation, if any; from a fan's perspective, folks looked at your schedule or conference to mentally designate if you were attempting to play major college football.

There is no struggle at all at "proving" this. The NCAA keeps a record of when teams enter the top division. They say 1966, and I've not seen anything that says any different.
