They don't fit in with the AAC but there isn't a better football conference for them
I truly believe if the AAC would allow it, it would be best for temple to return to th A10 and be a fb only in the aac it would benefit all involved. Idk how either party feels about this though
Why would the A-10 want that? They already have 14 members. College conferences are not like the Big Bang theory of the universe, where galaxies just keep expanding and getting larger forever and ever.
They expanded beyond 14 for Butler and VCU. They'd expand beyond 14 for Temple, who'd be in the upper echelon of the league for value (VCU, Dayton, SLU, Temple).
I see the AAC, CUSA and Sun Belt reorganizing or dissolving.
East Coast: North Division: Buffalo, Temple, UMASS, UCONN, JMU, Army and Navy.
South Division: Old Dominion, Liberty, East Carolina, Charlotte, South Florida, FAU, and FIU.
AAC/Sun Belt: West: Arkansas State, Louisiana, Rice, Southern Miss, Tulane, SMU, Tulsa
East: UAB, Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Marshall, South Alabama,Troy.
CUSA: East: Central Arkansas, Jacksonville State, Middle Tennessee, Eastern Kentucky, Western Kentucky, Louisiana Monroe, and Louisiana Tech.
West: Lamar, Sam Houston, Stephen F. Austin, Texas State, UTSA, UTEP, and NMSU.
