Interesting 3 month old article on ECU's upside.

"East Carolina is a gem by the Atlantic coast who has so much potential as a football program. Not only on the field, but off the field. ECU has an elite atmosphere when it comes to Saturdays around game time. Around 50,000 fans pack out the stadium, screaming as the Pirate football players run out to purple haze. ECU’s atmosphere is very comparable to Virginia Tech with a large crowd, crazy fans, and an amazing atmosphere. Just think the SEC is rumored to think about adding Virginia Tech and ECU draws comparisons to them."

"The state of North Carolina is still open for one of the six FBS (including Charlotte) to become the dominant program. With the two likely programs UNC and NCST continuing to be stagnant or mess up so the window is open. ECU has the potential to become that dominant program and the new conference move might be that push that was needed just due to the exposure that will be received."
