Temple and Cincinnati will be watching this closely to see how the independence movement works out. They do have the advantage of having nearby NFL stadiums to utilize for marquee match ups. They also are located in prime recruiting areas. Temple could return to the A-10 conference and should be able to schedule as an independent. Cincinnati would have a more difficult time finding a location for their Olympic sports if the Big East did not accept them. I wonder if Xavier would try to block them from entry? They would be able to schedule as a football independent fairly easy considering their access to the Cincinnati NFL Stadium.
