What's really hilarious is USF is UCFs sponsor school for the Bigeast application.

Judy Judy Judy Judy......

There shouldn't be a new BE without ECU, it just wouldn't make sense. They are much like UCF, in that their reach would explode with an AQ tag.

They're gonna get ECU anytime they want too when the time comes.
Rest assured....

I'm glad you edited your rant. I saw it before you deleted it. I'm not sure what I said to set you off like that. I'm on your side dude. I think ECU should get in before any of the military academies or western schools. All I said was the BE knows it can have ECU when it wants. It's up to them, not me, so thank you for deleting that vicious attack I was about to respond to.

There was no vicious attack. Just a point made on how ECU should be
among the first picked, not the last and treated like a dogs with football history to back it up. And a warning against the kind of rhetoric employed here for years now against East Carolina. But you know what? I came to the conclusion that it isn't worth worrying about anymore. This league will be toast no matter who they choose. There ain't no WAY that UL and WVU are going to be hamstrung by the CYO and no way this league lasts for very long with schools who can't even fill the seats.
Folks here might think their poop doesn't stink, but from our perspective,
it hasn't been our lifelong dream to end up in a league with a bunch of
leftovers either. I've seen your posts all summer. You have not been in ECU's corner so don't try to BS me, kiddo. Your body of work doesn't support that claim.
The BE can choose whoever they want. Doesn't matter.
ESPN has ruined football in this country no matter what they do now.
Few will be winners very often in the current scenario.
Few are happy anymore or even look forward to football season and
that is pretty sad. It ruined the Big East Conference, ruined the ACC,
bloated the SEC and harmed CUSA too.
I spent all summer dreading the whole thing as a result of ESPN's
anti-trust collusion.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I may have said some things along the way the past several months that put other schools in a different light than ECU (but who hasn't...after all this is a message board and everyone is a homer or has a biased opinion - I'm trying better to remain neutral), but after watching how the Big East and its member schools are behaving and handling the league management I'm entitled to change my opinions as I learn more about certain universities, their fans and their passions. I've come to appreciate ECU a lot more over the past several months because I see how much this means to them. For Christ sake, look at what you just said. Same goes for schools like UCF, Houston, SMU, Southern Miss, Temple, and others. Everyone deserves the right to pursue a dream, so all we can do is wish each other luck and hope things work out the way we want in the end.

Get some rest my friend. Tomorrow is another day....
