Yes it is an important market.


But it isn't yet an ACC market. But it has a lot of potential as well. UVA played there last year against Villanova, and that crowd was the largest to ever attend a college basketball game in Pennsylvania. UVA lost, but it as a great game.

Villanova doesn't play football, so they are not in the picture for the ACC. But the question is whether Temple could do for the ACC what Pittsburgh does. They did fill up the Linc for a Notre Dame game a few years ago. If they get their new stadium built and continue to be a leading contender in the AAC in football, I think they could build a basketball program to compete with Villanova if they were in a big time basketball league.
