Go on twitter and search "Marshall ECU." Go on the CUSA message board...that's all they talk about...we're forced to defend our team way too much. Like who cares?
Both teams should enjoy their seasons and spotlight. It won't be there next year for both.
Marsha fans felt slighted and whined because they thought they were better than wvu and wvu wouldnt play them.
Marsha fans felt slighted and whined because they were d1-aa but felt they were better than many d1 schools and werent getting enough respect
Marsha fans felt slighted because they were in the MAC and no one respected the MAC and they thought they should get better bowls and higher rankings
Marsha fans feel slighted because they are running the score up on a weak schedule and no one respects them.
Anyone notice a theme here.
When it comes to access bowls, the commitee, and the rest of the BS that college football has become due to espn, market shares and the creation of a college level nfl structure. You have a choice get sucked in to the whole mess or just enjoy rooting for your school the way people have for 100 years. ECU has been playing good football for a long long time.
If Marsha does get in for whatever reason I hope they beat the brakes off of whatever tv contract money league school they play, despite their whiney fan base.
Oh and thank you UCF for underlining what a sham the whole system has become even though the window was only available for one year.
