You cut off the limb to save the body.
It is time to drop football. And it pains me that I have finally come to this conclusion.
Aside from a few good years under Rhule, Golden, and perhaps Arians before that Temple football is largely a dumpster fire that has sucked resources from the university with no return - largely due to strategic mismanagement.
The majority of Temple people resonate with basketball and that’s always been our core culture and DNA and has carried our brand nationally. It can become a major strategic asset.
If we save it!
We have to save basketball. Cut football. Pump all money into basketball that you can and all donations we get go to it.
If we continue to split our resources rather than invest in our core business we will be bankrupt totally and embarrassed more than we already are.
