So then why would Temple take their hoops leave the A10 which went from much better than CUSA to CurbStomping CUSA?

Temple was, is, and will always be a hoops program first.

Like I said, I doubt we'd be interested in football only, and they're probably not interested in an all sports invite. However, it looks like C-USA is gaging interest at this point. No harm in that.

Anybody who suggests that Temple would consider an all-sport membership to CUSA is plain ignorant. It wasn't happening when Memphis was part of the conference and it certainly isn't happening now.

To leave the MAC for CUSA Temple would have to do the following:

1) Pay a 2.5 million dollar buyout to the MAC
2) Risk its fragile football recovery for a few years in CUSA.
3) Pay a 10 million dollar buyout fee to CUSA in 2015.

There is no value for Temple to make such a short term move. They would be much better hanging in the MAC for a few more years to try and build up a Boise State level program. CUSA will ALWAYS be there for Temple if they want it.
