East Carolina boosters trying to make \'big\' push for ACC consideration.
They are trying desperately hard to get the North Carolina politicians involved in pushing for the Pirates to get an ACC invite. They want the NCar Governor to get involved like the Virginia Governor did.
My guess is that it is no more than stirring the pot hoping it'll boil from friction. If ECar does blow enough smoke up the skirts of the 4 NCar schools it could create some more divisiveness.
ECar has mostly been mediocre in football & basketball by ConUSA standards, but has made the NCAA regionals for the last 3 yrs in baseball. Baseball is a coming sport there. Here's an article from the Raleigh News-Observer:
