...Coastal Carolina was not yet a full FBS program as they were still an FCS Independent and Temple won the AAC.

Fast forward 8 years and Coastal is an 18 point road favorite.

Reports circulating that Oregon State and Washington State have convinced Boise state, San Diego State, Fresno State, and Colorado State to join the Pac 12 in 2026. Conference would still need two football schools to stay FBS level.

What are the ramifications here for Temple? Does the PAC 12 convince Tulane in Memphis to join? How does the Mountain West respond, and do they convince any AAC schools to jump? Does the AAC target any Mountain West schools, like Air Force for football, or possibly Utah State for all sports?

About to get interesting.

Temple has long advertised on the station for football/basketball games, kid tickets being $10 on gameday, etc. and the prize for the mid-day show today is tickets to the Coastal Carolina game Saturday. Ray Dunne is also the producer and does play by play for Temple women's basketball. Needless to say they tried to sell it as best they can (the weather is supposed to be nice, bring the kids to a game where the Eagles play, etc.) as they were getting a lot of comments bashing the program, second prize being tickets to two Temple games, etc.

While the cohost said he thinks the program will be dropped soon, the recently rehired Mike Missanelli (and usual Temple hater) actually ripped the administrators and questioned why the program has fallen on hard times (again). He said they are not going to drop the program and while he understands the issues with NIL, if other programs at a similar level can win games more often than not, Temple should be able to.
