Temple - FromTheInside - 07-17-2013 05:16 PM They are currently in not deep(finish line) but prolonged talks with the ACC. Its way more left and right turns then many here think. Here are some of the points of interest. -Temple has decided they are going full tilt for a p5 spot after having some dark years not to long ago. They are upgrading everything they can one after another. -There has been one leaked rumor a couple moths back that was quickly swept under the rug about coaches telling recruits that "Temple would be moving leagues by 2015". Where and other more direct parts of that rumor have not been adressed in any way but if you look at how they are recruiting it sure seems possible now that they are feeding kids better days ahead lines. If anyone will remember rutgers 2 years ago... -The ACC has been toyed with by the B10 when it comes to the Mid Atlantic. No other way to put it. The ACC got hit in the jaw. Phili would be a very quality regain of territory and very underrated tv wise. The ACC finds the city to be very important and with Nova not ever taking a move to big boy football seriously, Temple is the prize now. -The ACC wants to have the contract Temple has with the Eagles stadium extended and a bowl game put in place with ACC ties as part of the deal. The ACC wants the B10 to be the other team and is already starting to pressure the state of PA to make this happen on both sides if things work out with Temple being added. -Temple is offering several different options to make progress and quickly. They have discussed a couple very desperate but serious options. They basically have shown cards but the ACC respects the desire they have and there worth product wise. Talks have involved such ideas as Temple getting a half share for its first 10 years in the league and getting a basketball(others) invite imediately with a written clause of football being added as the next school when expansion happens. How that would work is if ND one day joins full then Temple would get the other spot football wise. If the ACC decided it wanted 16+ND lets say if a 4x16 happened and ND was as is now then Temple would be slot #15 and the ACC would need slot 16 to be filled still. -Temple wants to have its contract with the Eagles stadium for the lenght of the half share they would get from the ACC in the first 10 years. They think by then the added revenue they would have would be enough to get a on campus stadium project going. By that time they feel its possible and that the bowl game would have enough sway itself to live alone at the eagles stadium. RE: Temple - bullet - 07-17-2013 05:20 PM I think the ACC would have had a better shot at Notre Dame with 14 teams than 16. With 14, they only have to have them play 1 additional conference game (6 divisional games). RE: Temple - john01992 - 07-17-2013 05:25 PM no no no & no if the acc wanted to add schools nd cincy & uconn the ac is not getting raided and no p5 school is gambling on temple, they have no athletics of note right now RE: Temple - canewton - 07-17-2013 06:21 PM This thread is going to go well.

Other than that, due to your incorrect use of homonyms, misspelling of Philly, and generally disclosing known or vague info, it's hard to believe you. I think we are certainly a viable option for the ACC. When is another story. RE: Temple - dbackjon - 07-17-2013 06:23 PM Temple can dream.

RE: Temple - johnbragg - 07-17-2013 06:31 PM Forgive me if I'm skeptical, dude who's never posted before making wildly implausible claims. RE: Temple - OrangeCrush22 - 07-17-2013 06:33 PM I'm sure Temple, and many other universities, have been flirting with the ACC, and also the Big XII. RE: Temple - MKPitt - 07-17-2013 06:34 PM While I don't think the thread starter has any inside information, I've long thought that if Temple decided to make investments in sports (which they are doing for the first time in almost forever), that they would make an attractive candidate. It's a big state school with solid academics sitting right in the middle of the fourth biggest media market in the country. Unfortunately for Temple, they waited just a little bit too long to decide to go in this direction so they'll probably have to sit this round out. Maybe in 10-15 years when crap hits the fan again. RE: Temple - Cardinals - 07-17-2013 06:54 PM Please remember, this is the OP's post #1 (in a thread entitled "Howdy"): FromTheInside Wrote:Well if I have been reading enough here over the past year or so then I would know that the first post has to be the exact ending of CR. here it is: If he is this knowledgeable about every single conference and every single NCAA division, then how could you possibly doubt what he says about Temple & the ACC? His insider info is both amazing and unquestionable. RE: Temple - dbackjon - 07-17-2013 06:55 PM (07-17-2013 06:27 PM)JHG722 Wrote:(07-17-2013 06:23 PM)dbackjon Wrote: Temple can dream.

The ACC no more wants Temple than a college girl wants an STD. Temple - chargeradio - 07-17-2013 07:42 PM I think the only place that Temple can go before 2025 is the Big 12, if and only if the big 12 is forced to expand to at least 14. The American's TV contract can be renegotiated if Temple, Memphis, Connecticut, or Cincinnati leave. Fox can stick it to ESPN one more time.

RE: Temple - JunkYardCard - 07-17-2013 08:06 PM Just like pretty much every other school on the outside looking in, the one thing Temple needs most is the one thing money can't buy, and that's fans.
