We are 30 miles from wilson and some of the Raleigh market. You don't average 50k in a 75k city without interest beyond Greenville/New Bern.

2 million plus in Eastern NC

And only 1.8 million of them are retired beach yankees.

Yeah, but your being a dick about it. But, you want to act like it's just ECU fan doing and you don't. You went full on smack in the second post in thread.

So pointing out factual information is "full on smack"? Question is, other than typical "it's all about us" ECU typical posting, why even start this thread? Don't you guys have your own board somewhere? I didn't see any UCF, Memphis, Houston, SMU, Tulane or Tulsa fans posting about their market. Why is it always you guys?

I started this thread as it contained relevant information to the conference. I then posted ECU's DMA rank and EXPECTED fellow fans would do the same for their school. Seems that may be too much to ask from CUSAbbs though...

That's just it, it is not relevant to our conference. You guys, and your market, don't matter any more. When we sit down to discuss our TV contracts you are not going to be part of the discussion. You now matter to the AAC, that's the board this should be discussed on.

Seriously who cares. We transcend our arbitrary market value anyway. I'm a lot more proud of that fact than just happening to be located by shear luck in some "good" market as defined by these rankings. Most of the schools are in the big cities are afterthoughts in them anyway. It says a hell of a lot more about ECU that even with the so called anchor it's not held us back.

It's not relevant to this conference though. I don't understand why you, as an ECU fan, would think the rest of the conference would give a damn about your market size.(or Tulane's, or Tulsa's)

I'm just curious, what in your mind makes this relevant to those of us in C-USA for the foreseeable future?

In the past 10 years, 4 NCAA Tournament appearances, one Sweet 16 appearance and 3 NIT appearances. Yeah, irrelevant.

You posted ECU's information. You didn't post every school's, you posted ECU's specifically in the thread. I truly do not understand how this is so difficult to comprehend. We don't care about ECU anymore.

I posted ECU's specifically because I am an ECU fan and didn't have time to look up where every AAC and CUSA school is based out of and then look for that data and THEN compile several different lists. If you have that type of time on you hands well god bless you.

You are missing the point. We don't care about ECU. We don't care about the AAC. We care about our future. You guys care about yours, and that's great. Best of luck to you, but it means nothing to us right now. Our point is we don't care about ECU's TV market. Those on the AAC board might.

I care about ecu.

I don't get the arrogance of some ECU fans but I will give them major props for supporting their football program.

Did I ******* say you gave a ****? I posted this on both forums which means I would've had to do lists for both conferences. Why not shut the hell up as you clearly aren't following what I'm saying.

I don't see how this stuff is allowed on here, but it's good to know it is.

As far as acting like a "douchebag" all I stated was that we, as C-USA, do not care about your tv market. We don't care about your schedules next year and we don't care about your recruits next year. I'm not acting like anything, I'm just telling you that if you were in our position you would not care either. It doesn't mean a thing to us. It isn't relevant to the conference.
