College Football Countdown Trivia: Which 3 Conferences Was East Carolina In Before Joining the American?

HERO Sports is counting down the 100 days until the kickoff of the 2018 college football season on Saturday, Aug. 25, with daily trivia. Each day, from May 17 through Aug. 24, we'll publish one college football trivia question.

Nearly every active FBS program has competed in multiple conferences, including East Carolina. The Pirates — then known as the Teachers — began playing football in 1932 but didn't join a conference until 15 years later, their first of their four all-time conference affiliations.

ECU joined their fourth one, the American Athletic Conference, in 2014. Where did the Pirates arrive from? And what other conferences has ECU been a member of?

Answer

North State Conference (1932-46)

Southern Conference (1965-76)

Conference USA (1997-2013)

All three conferences still exist, two of which — Southern Conference and Conference USA — have the same name.

The North State Conference was formed in 1930 and changed to Carolinas Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in 1961, Carolinas-Virginia Athletics Conference in 1995 and Conference Carolinas in 2007.
