The East Carolina Pirates first fielded a football team in 1932 when they played without pads against other North Carolina-based schools. Since then the football program has developed into a multi-million dollar endeavor and managed to play in 12 bowl games, developed 19 All-Americans, provided 52 players to the NFL, five of whom have won Super Bowl rings. The Pirates have proven themselves to be a force to be reckoned with both in the Conference USA and in out of conference games.
