Didn't they use to play the last weekend like everyone else?

What if one of them actually has a good season again, like NIU did this year, do they get locked out of a BCS bowl since their season wouldn't have finished yet? :mjpls:

Service academies will never be any good so this is a hypothetical that will never come to fruition.

Television rights for the longstanding Army–Navy Game, which is the last regular season game in the NCAA, serve as a significant revenue source for the programs.

it will never ever change

and no they would not get locked out of a bcs bowl if that were to happen, wyomng coach almost lost his job this year for saying air force was faking injuries

I never gave a fukk about an Army/Navy game. I hate that the media makes a big deal out of 2 talentless, garbage ass teams

Alot of people in this country are in the Armed forces or have family friends in it. I know people that are both academies as well as the Air Force.

I kinda agree with this thread they need to just schedule it on/around Veteran's Day IMO.

:notimpressed:

the rsaon why its the only game played that day is so the spotlight is on them, its a great recruitment tool and a great rivarly.

i dunno how folks can hate on it
