If Butler is indeed changing conferences, the move is on hold.
Butler athletic department leaders met today to discuss possible Atlantic 10 membership, but no announcement was made afterward and none appears imminent.
For weeks, there has been speculation that Butler would leave the Horizon League and join the Atlantic 10 to enhance its men’s basketball program.
Butler, if moving to the Atlantic 10, would not play in the conference until the 2013-14 school year. Temple will be in the Atlantic 10 in 2012-13 before joining the Big East.
An Indianapolis Star study published Sunday indicated the move could cost Butler about $500,000 a year in increased travel expenses for all sports.
