Probably, especially considering the high exit fees from the Alliance.
They have a high one from the MAC and the exit fee from the Alliance will likely be prohibitive for any team, short of a power conference invite (they think ACC, but they have zero chance at that). Temple looks at the Alliance as a short term move, but it will be too costly for that. It's understandable that Temple (and ECU or Marshall) who actually are in the East might want to go to the Big East, but if things work out as the Alliance plans, the incentive for non-eastern teams won't be there and the cost will be high.
