What Division 1-A Conference should Temple's football team join?
- Fanatical - 01-20-2005 08:20 PM
MAC or Sun Belt
- Wilkie01 - 01-20-2005 08:23 PM
MAC or drop to 1AA.

They will be in the MAC for all sports. They still get the Big 5 and other rivals for OOC basketball and other sports.

A lot of MAC and Temple fans have been saying that it could be announced in the next few weeks. The only reason Temple basketball will stay in the A-10 is because John Chaney doesn't want to leave the A-10. It's the same reason why Temple isn't in C-USA in All-Sports, or at least got serious consideration for an invitation to C-USA, which, I think, would have been the perfect home for them.

John Chaney is old and past his coaching prime! Temple had better start thinking about its future!

With Marshall and UCF leaving, the MAC will be at 12 schools. Why would they want to go to an odd number like 13 by adding Temple?
- WVU82 - 01-20-2005 11:46 PM
the Atlantic-10 , they did have a link to the A-10 on their homepage

Are you guys sure the rest of Temple sports are staying in the A10?....for some reason I was under the impression that they were moving all there sports to the MAC..but I could be wrong

- UofMemphis - 01-21-2005 06:57 PM
they are saying that Western Ky will be added as a all sports member soon...so that would give them another team...i think Temple really F'ed up not trying to get in the C-USA when we were expanding...but they just arn't looking ahead...too bad for them.
Go Tigers!!!

-- ECU, UCF and Marshall stick out like a sore thumb in CUSA already....adding a team from Philly into a Texas based league would be like adding a school from another planet...even if Temple was interested....the travel costs from Philly to El Paso or Tulsa for the Owls non revenue sports would be huge...a small urban/private school like Temple just couldn't afford it...especially since the BCS check isn't coming in anymore
