Temple University Athletics
A Clarification from Temple
12.8.25 | General
PHILADELPHIA – Temple University would like to clarify recent reports regarding its potential participation in postseason play.
At no point did Temple decline a bowl invitation. We received a phone call yesterday afternoon to discuss an invitation and before we were able to discuss the opportunity with our coaching staff, student-athletes, and university leadership, the opportunity was offered to another institution.
We value the significance of bowl participation and are disappointed for our student-athletes, fans, and university that this opportunity did not work out.
Temple remains committed to transparency and to making responsible decisions in the best interests of our student-athletes and institution.
