If you are going to have one FB only on one side of this you might as well have one on both sides. Temple isn't likely to leave the A10, but if you let them stay they probably would be willing to join.

DING DING DING we have a winner.

i dont think CUSA i worth sending our STUDENT atheletes half way arround the county for non-football conference games. No offense; if the A10 and CUSA schools were swaped i would still choose geography over being in a single conference. Football isnt so big of a deal due to the limited number of games. But yeah, if Temple cant get into the ACC / Big12 / BigEast (in that order) than i would like Temple to move football do CUSA. i think you will find that all Temple fans agree with me on that. Football is the money maker anyway, why would CUSA care if Temple is FB only. If anything CUSA gets the better end of the deal, you wouldent have to ship your track and field team to Philadelphia.

And i know what your thinking, what about the basketball. It's true Temple knows its roundball. But Temple has alot of history in the A10, we are the A10 (Xavier fans may disagree). i would hat for Temple to give up the A10 just to promote football. i dont think that is fair to the BB program or the non-revenue programs. Again its more for geography/history sake than competition sake. Although; many Temple fans including myslef beleive the A10 is the superior BBall League. Memphis... please

Screw that. Temple without their basketball isn't worth it. Let them stay in the MAC/A10 where they will still be in 20 years. Unless Temple is willing to move somewhere with all sports then they will never make it back to a bigger conference. I think the BE is all but dead to Temple as long as Villanova is there Temple will be blocked. The ACC will take Rutgers and UConn before they even think about Temple and well the B12 will take Louisville and Cincy and Cincy is a stretch......

Is Temple football better than it was in the BE. Hard to tell, they are playing in the MAC and still haven't come close to winning it.
