These will be my last words too. Their attendance was closer to 32K and that was with few students as most are already gone on break. Unlike State College, people in a big city like Philadelphia have lots of other options instead of going to football games. You can check on Pitt's inflated attendance to confirm that. However, I can tell you that Temple's TV ratings this year in the Philadelphia market year have dwarfed anything Penn State has gotten (where they are supposed to be the college football team of choice). That is much more important for Temple.
And you may be right that Rhule leaves but Temple has an administration that is investing in athletics for the first time ever and they will be more than ok.
