Despite a fairly tepid response from the assembled gathering, Chryst continued to trumpet the arrival of Temple as an associate member of the MAC for football only this season and as “full” member for football only starting in 2007. Part of this arrangement, according to Chryst, is an agreement with Temple’s men’s and women’s basketball program to play a home and home series with each MAC school

When I read that line a few days back, it's kind of misleading. The end of that sentence should say each MAC team twice over the next 5-7 years. Temple's AD was quoted as saying, "some years we'll play only two [MAC] games, some years, maybe four," Bradshaw said. "It depends on our schedule. It's not hard-and-fast as much as it's common sense."

At any point in time, the idea we would get Temple in our gym for a home game would have been greeted with a great deal of excitement, whether it was in 5 or 7 years.

I agree completely, I just thought the MAC Online Report line was kind of misleading and I wanted clarify that Temple wouldn't be coming as often as some might get the impression. I was not trying to downplay the excitement that should be deservedly warranted from Temple coming to play in AA. I know I'm pumped at the opportunity.

Chryst dropped the ball in regards to Temple, that's all there is to it.
