Fire Compher banner displayed at Saturday's game
Pirate football fans call for the termination of Director of Athletics Jeff Compher.Just before the noon kickoff for the East Carolina University football team Saturday at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium, a banner was flown over the stadium reading “Fire Compher! Go Pirates!”
The banner was directed at ECU Athletic Director Jeff Compher. ECU’s football program has been under scrutiny for its rough start to the season as it currently sits at 1-4.
Greensboro, North Carolina native, John Beam, started a GoFundMe to buy the banner, shooting for $1,300.
