Also, Temple and Villanova are both in Philadelphia County, and Temple controls that one.

Minor clarification: Villanova is in suburban Delaware County, about 5 miles outside the Philly city limits, and is the only one of the Big Five (six if you count Drexel, also D-1) not located within the city proper.

Ah yes, right you are. Last year when the Pavilion was under construction and they played all home games in the Wells Fargo Center, I had them in mind as a truly in-Philadelphia team. But since they were back in the Pavilion as their main home* this season, they moved back out of the county.

*11 home games at the Pavilion vs. 5 at Wells Fargo

You are correct about this though I think St Joe’s is split fairly evenly between Philly and Lower Merion, which is Montgomery County. I think the Philly side is considered the heart of campus so it is considered a Philly school. And I think the basketball arena is in Philly but I’m not sure. All of this is moot this year but who can resist a discussion of Philly geography?

You rarely hear the word "proper" used in reference to Philadelphia, and never correctly.
