East Carolina nonconference schedule (COMPLETE #145)

Any Conference USA head coach coming off a postseason championship (CIT) who schedules the maximum 4 non-Division I opponents should be immediately fired. Jeff "I don't want to schedule anyone" Lebo seemingly does this every season. I know C-USA hasn't been a major player for quite awhile, but it's been a decent conference that usually has a team in the mix for an at-large bid. This is a schedule best reserved for a program from a bottom-shelf D-I conference, of which C-USA is not.
