Quote: The MAC has a $2.5 million fee for an exit with two years’ notice. So Temple must negotiate for an immediate exit similar to West Virginia did with the Big East. The conference agreed to accept West Virginia’s nearly $20 million settlement to be able to join the Big 12 as a full member in July.

How much will the MAC make the Owls pay to speed up their exit?

According to a source, it doesn't matter.

“The Big East, I assume, will help them out,” the source said. “They got $20 million from West Virginia’s exit fee.

“The Big East needs Temple.”

Just how much is Big East/Temple willing to spend? I'd say $7.5 million for MAC and $2.5 for A-10 should be enough for Temple to get in the Big East for next year.
