True. Temple President's statement sounds like they're happy.

He indicates he was involved with who to add. For years I've thought the ACC should consider Temple. They are in a region the ACC wants to be part of, and having the ACC in Philly would be good.

They aren't a popular choice here though largely due to their performance in the Big East. But we've had 4 coaches now show since then that you can win at Temple so much so that they all went to P5 jobs from Temple. Al Golden, Steve Addazio, Matt Rhule, and Geoff Collins.
