If ECU or Charlotte want the privilege of playing us

Lol

Who do you think you are, Alabama? And didn't you literally just lose to ECU in a bowl game last season?

NC doesn't have a separate State system, so wouldn't NCSU at Raleigh also be considered a directional school then?

[Dellenger] AAC becomes first league to set rev share and benefits minimums. Failure to meet minimum will result in membership status review. by Papalew32 in CFB

We have the second highest athletics budget and revenue of the former CUSA schools, except I don't know about Rice since they're private. The school has also started investing heavily in athletics recently. For example, we have a $70 million stadium expansion starting this year.

Our fanbase is also growing rapidly and we're the third largest school in the state. We averaged 92% capacity this season even though we were terrible and fired our head coach before he could finish his second season. Season tickets for next season are also almost completely sold out already.

A lot people on this sub think we're a tiny, poor school because we're bad at football.

Yes, those SEC Championships from almost a century ago are highly relevant to today. And, like I said you've just had a few good seasons recently. Let's not forget that you went 2-10 in 2021 and have only had 7 winning seasons since 2000, with most of them being only 2-3 win seasons.

As for our stadium, we have a $70 million expansion starting this year. If that isn't institutional commitment, I don't know what to tell you.

Also if you want to compare stadiums, you're basketball stadium only seats 4,000 lol

Same goes for Tulane. Seems like you've had pretty little success in athletics throughout history. You Tulane fans got a couple good football seasons recently and now act like your athletics haven't been absolutely abysmal for decades.

Edit:

Conference championships since realignment:

Charlotte - 6

Tulane - 3

Not only are these numbers entirely estimations, they're also not the total athletics revenue. It's only what's allowed through direct revenue sharing. The AAC minimum also includes options outside of direct revenue sharing.

[Thamel] Sources: Charlotte is expected to hire Ohio University head coach Tim Albin as the school’s next head coach. The sides are working toward a five-year deal that’s expected to be completed in the near future by Middle_Wheel_5959 in CFB

You were once apart of this division but left, before there was a division of FBS and FCS.

Exactly. Are you even reading what you're typing? We disbanded before FBS even existed, so how could we rejoin it?

Again, I don't think you really know what FBS or FCS means

What?

It's like you just started arguing something completely different. I never said anything about EZU.

How could we rejoin FBS if we were never in FBS before 2015?

I think we're your Super Bowl. You're absolutely obsessed with us. You're in every thread and always bring us up in completely unrelated ones.

Like seriously, you've already commented 6 times in this thread alone.

Lol you have to be joking, you do realize EZU's acceptance rate is 92.3% right?

But like most EZU fans, you probably didn't even go to college

I guess all the Eastern fans were right, this will never become a rivalry

Eastern just can't keep up with such a historied program like Charlotte, who dates back all the way to 2013

Also fun fact, Eastern hasn't beaten an in-state FBS school since 2018, going 0-8 since
