East Carolina grad and fan here.

If the SEC wants a piece of the North Carolina television market for the SEC network then it should consider East Carolina. There is significant money to be made to add the North Carolina market and as we already know, the ACC schools are locked up now and will not leave.

I am not holding my breath on this but you have to see how things work out in the long term.

We would be happy in either the SEC or Big 12.

I see no happiness in your future.

Why? NC State would be a much better addition than ECU.

The Atlantic Coast Conference presidents approved a grant of media rights for the league through 2026-27, effectively halting the exodus of any schools to other conferences.

I didn't say that the SEC was going to go after them. I only said that they'd be a better addition.

ECU would never even be considered for the SEC.

The question at the top of the thread is:

Should the SEC consider East Carolina and you offered that NC State would be a much better addition because you didn't know anything about the media rights deal until I explained it to you.

Maybe that's because I don't keep up with, and don't give a frick about, what goes on in the ACC.

Ok. It is always nice to have someone in the discussion that does not know anything about the subjects being discussed.

Hey noob, GTFO. ECU would bring ZERO to the SEC. I do know that. But whatever. I'm going to bed.

Aren't you the same guy who asked about ECU last week? You just made a new account?

Here is a bleacher report article on this subject
This addition isn't going to improve your OP any.

Diluting the quality/competition of our conference doesn't sound appealing to me. Being the "long-term" conference bitch shouldn't sound appealing to you.

The SEC will want to add a school whose football team will be able to survive in conference and whose basketball and baseball teams are NCAA Tournament-caliber. Even with SEC money & facilities and improved recruiting, ECU still wouldn't be able to meet those standards.

No point in discussing this really since it was discussed yesterday.

SEC is #1 or #2 in every market they enter. ECU is at least #4 behind UNC, NCST, and Duke. Unless ECU overtakes these schools they are not in the discussion. If you want to plead your case try the Big 12 as they take lower market share schools. Baylor is #4 and TCU is #5 in the TX market so.

If ECU can become #1 or #2 in NC then come back and make your case.

ps, never use the bleacher report to support your cause or you instantly lose all credibility.
