Can the AAC dump Temple?

Now that we have fended off the Pac12 it’s high time we start thinning the herd.  Temple first and then I think we eye others.  Too many mouths to feed if you aren’t bringing any value.

I know they suck at football but they’re a recognizable brand, particularly in basketball.  I wouldn’t say they don’t bring anything to the table.  Plus it is nice to have someone to beat up on in football (though we shouldn’t take it for granted).

They’re a large school in a major east coast city.  Also a good travel partner in football for Army and Navy.  Not sure we should be throwing stones.

Temple beat Utah State last weekend 45-29.  Utah State just now accepted an invite to become the 7th member of the PAC, lol.  Always nice to beat another G5 conference's team.

The AAC doesn’t need to dump anyone you dill!

Utah State just bolted the Mountain West!

The Mountain West is weak and susceptible to a raid of teams right now looking for stability.

The AAC should go after UNLV and Air Force and maybe New Mexico as well.

Fun Fact #2:

Temple is tied with Memphis and Tulane for the most number of AAC football championships out of all current members.

 

Fun Fact #3:

Temple, Memphis, and Tulane have won one championship each.

They wouldn’t be at the top of my list to dump (charlotte)

Does anybody know if the conference mandates a minimum standard for athletics spending? That would be the only circumstance under which I'd support dumping anybody, including us.
