When I was talking about USF, I was talking about the Big 12 taking them not the SEC. A combination of USF and ECU would help strengthen the Big 12 on the East Coast with a program that has a lot of promise in ECU as well as a Florida school that will give schools like Oklahoma and Texas a chance to play in Florida in a Professional Stadium. The big question would be if those schools coming to play there would help USF make it full enough for TV.

I think WVU, ECU and USF would be a decent compromise for the Big 12 out East. Personally I think that ECU has a ton of promise if it could just land itself in a major conference. Once it gets that it will get a major boost in recruiting. Look at what they are doing with the minimal money coming in now. If they got a major boost in money then you just know they would put that back into continuing to build facilities.

The problem with them for the Big 12 would be proving how they wouldn't be a drag in terms of what the current payout is in the Big 12 versus what they would make with an expansion with the likes of USF and ECU. If a conference championship game could offset the decrease then it could be feasible.

The would make the last shot for the SEC to get into North Carolina gone for good.

I see a lot of similarity between the situations for WVU and ECU. They aren't identical but I think there would be a lot of understanding between the two cultures. That could turn out to be a fun in conference rivalry.
