Imagine if Fordham football didn’t fold in the 50’s, or NYU.

There are a lot of what if’s. Villanova’s AD tried to start an eastern all sports conference in 1953! It involved Fordham, BC, Syracuse, Temple, Penn State, Pitt, and a few others.

On the subject of Villanova, in 1997 there was a plan in place to play at Franklin Field for a few years while transitioning to the Big East. Imagine if they effectively swapped out Temple. Who do you think would have gotten the lease at the Linc in 2003?

Temple. This topic was beaten like a rented mule on this site a decade ago. LFF was funded by the state to be the joint home of the Eagles and Temple.
