With Temple poised to face off against Indiana in the second round of March Madness. Temple University president Neil Theobald didn’t pause – not for one second – when asked where his loyalties lie. “There is no doubt on that one,” he said. “I’m all in for the Owls.” Theobald became Temple’s president in January after working for 20 years in Indiana, most recently as the school’s senior vice president and chief financial officer. He’s an avid basketball fan, too.  “The students are really interested in this. So it isn’t just my love of basketball. It’s also also my love of the university,” Theobald said.
