I believe FAU and FIU will both be added when the timing is right. It makes sense to add both if you are going to add one. They would be a football move, but they can be travel partners, rivals, and are located in great recruiting areas.

In terms of the basketball conference tourney, it will be in Vegas....where the WAC and MWC both hold their's now. Its a cheap flight to anywhere, a great place to hold a tourney, and have UNLV, Nevada, Fresno close by, not to mention not too far from New Mexico and UTEP.

I think ODU will be in for all sports. ODU is a great area and a potential home run quite frankly.

Maybe eventually....but we at ECU know for a fact that ODU does not yet want to play ANY D-1 teams. We have tried to schedule them to come to Greenville. They will most likely come in 2014 or 2015, which would be the first time they would play a D-1 opponent. They want to get to a championship level and be able to grow their fan base before considering a move. I have heard from some donors that 2020 would be the earliest they would consider it. So for 2013 or 2014 you would be talking about non football membership....until maybe 2020. They do have a ton of potential because they are the main game in a big town and a great recruiting area. Its about 2 hr or so drive from ECU.

Small Correction
You meant FBS not Division I as ODU plays in Div I FCS

No I said it correct....its the NCAA that has it wrong. Its D-1-A or D-1-AA

You would still be wrong as you just said you think of them as D1 (as in division 1 which you said they do not play)-AA.
