Because in this new era of college football markets don’t mean as much. Eyeballs and fan engagement mean more. If you don’t have a major national TV contract then markets mean next to nothing.
The American and the PAC12 are both on the cusp of this size. But the Sun Belt and MAC have proved that having a smaller regional conference of passionate fans is still a good TV product for casual fans.
For now ECU chasing the money is not a bad strategy, but if they are trying to drive more regional interest and fan engagement playing then the Sun Belt is a far better fit.
The “local” teams for ECU in the American are Charlotte, UAB, a pair of South Florida schools, Temple, Army and Navy. Everyone else is basically on or West of the Mississippi River.
The local teams in the Sun Belt are App State, Coastal, Georgia State, Georgia Southern, and a trio in the Virginias. These are more similar to ECU’s profile and would drive more engagement and future dollars.
Do you really think ECU students and fans give a shit about those schools you mentioned above more so than Charlotte or the other AAC teams? I doubt it. Most MAC and SBC teams have nowhere else to go, so they make it work out of necessity.

Would an all burnt orange ensemble appeal to anyone as an option when playing aggy and/or 0u at home?
Of course, it doesn't improve jersey sales, but...

That cow print is god-awful. Not even funny as a joke.
Bluebloods don't need color-rush uniforms, IMO. It's just another money grab when programs like Ohio State and Michigan do it. Gotta sell more jerseys. Maybe UT is leaving money on the table?

Because they are in a state with 1/3rd the population of Texas with 4 schools in the P4 and 2 others in the G5. They just aren’t going to move the needle for realignment.
Pairing them with App State would be far better for them than putting them with UNC-Charlotte (if there wasn’t money involved).
How does ECU traveling across the state to rural, mountainous Boone, benefit their program and university as a whole? I think ECU would rather have increased exposure in NC's largest city than BFE. More eyes and potential NC students in Charlotte.
And, yes, money is the key driver to ECU staying in the AAC. It pays better than the Sun Belt, doesn't it?

Why the hate? Best of luck to Kinne and Texas State.
If aggy had half a brain they would've hired this guy and his staff instead of some obese douchebag from Duke.
aggy can probably still be in the mix to make that happen when they can afford to fire Elko.
Unless Baylor beats them to him.

Inaccurate depiction of the gomers. Their foam appendage would be a thumbs up. Whoop!

In all fairness, props to Tree. The concept of an all-sport trophy had to be modified to keep a nerd school in the Bay Area from dominating it for decades on end. It feels nice to win, but honestly I'd take a FB championship over a director's cup.
Like most of us, I'd take a national championship in any of the Big 3 sports over a Director's Cup.
But, ain't that nice?

Came here for Texas State - PAC news and instead I get more hypothetical bullshit about Texas going back to the shitty Big 12.
CDC must read this 💩 while he's on the can just for laughs

Today I learned USA Today thinks people should pay for their content
The Daily Wipe certainly isn't worth paying for. It's the free paper you got at budget hotels with their "free" breakfast buffets.

Yeah, you pussies should just watch from the comfort of your home's Laz Z Boy and media room like I do. 😁

I give zero shits about the NBA and care even less about Orlando specifically, but those uniforms were great.
I haven't watched any NBA since Dirk retired, but I might tune in to see how Cooper Flagg does with the Mavs.
Or maybe just pull up YT highlights like I did with Luka

Plus, the SEC can potentially get exposed in a 5-11 playoff where they garner 4-5 teams and a couple shit the bed.
See this year's NCAA baseball tournament.
