It would be good for both schools in basketball (as well as every other sport the 2 schools played in common), would generate a ton of interest in the Philadelphia area, and the city would stop and watch when these 2 played each other...

That's one game a year. Balance that against the long-term decline in Villanova's recruiting position, competing against a large state school with a big alumni base and some (probably not much) football money.

Think of the advantages Villanova will have over Temple in 5 years. Can you name any?
