The Temple/Big East Conference rumors are heating up.

Temple has notified the Big East that it would be interested in becoming a member in all sports, it has been reported. The university also told the Big East that it would accept a football-only invitation if offered.

This news comes after it was reported that the Big East talked about Temple in a meeting held on Sunday discussing schools who have expressed interested in joining the conference.

The Big East lost Pittsburgh and founding-member Syracuse to the Atlantic Coast Conference in September as a part of the recent wave of conference re-alignment going on throughout college sports. The Big East has been reportedly searching for potential candidates to fill the two vacancies ever since.
