Is East Carolina interested in joining the Big 12? Yes

GREENVILLE, NC (WWAY) — Expansion appears to be coming fairly soon for the Big 12 Conference. What university will be the next to join the Big 12?  Could it be East Carolina?  “I believe strongly East Carolina deserves to be in the Big 12 as we can deliver the entire state of North Carolina,” ECU A.D. Jeff Compher said Thursday. “We have been positioning ourself to be the next member for the past 12 months and will continue to do so.”
