When you’re a University such as ECU and you have not won lately or have underachieve in athletics as we have, we have to do certain things that may not be fair . You have to go on the road and play more established programs , bigger schools , larger budgets just to earn respect . Like i said not a even playing field. One of the best things that happened to App State was going to The Big-house and winning , it turned their football program around and they been riding high every since . Recruits want to play bigger schools , it gives them a chance to display that chip they have on their shoulder . Just my opinion
