Message: [QUOTE="Orangemen, post: 30313, member: 106"] But I like it anyway. How about Temple for the ACC? Plusses- Basketball is competitive. Football is suprisingly competitive. They bring the Philly market. Minuses- They are Temple, an A-10/MAC school. Those schools don't jump to the ACC. From an athletics standpoint, they are superior to Rutgers in every way. They are below UConn, due to UConn's bball being so strong, football is essentially a wash. Should ND ever commit to the ACC (another idea with no basis in reality) Temple would be a perfect compliment. ND delivers the NYC market, Temple delivers the Philly market. This works out great for bball recruiting, giving the ACC a presence in every major NE city. It would also damage the BE even more, which, less face it, is part of the ACC plan here. Clearly, I know it will never happen. But when thinking about the big picture, there are a lot of good things about a move like this. [/QUOTE]
