Just started their second trip into a conference- The American.

Army and Navy should be in the Ivy League.

I agree, but what do you do with the smug assholes at the Air Force Academy?

PAC-3 maybe?

Air Force is in the Mountain West.

Army and Navy are in the Patriot League for everything but football

We know. Just that neither of them have any business in big time college football. I was more taking a shot at the arrogant pricks at the USAFA.

Can confirm.
Arrogant. Pricks.
No offense intended.

They are arrogant pricks. That said chAir Force was ranked in the top 20 week 9 this past season.

I disagree. They’ve toned down their schedule in recent years with lower P4 and mostly G5 teams. Army took Oklahoma (2018) and some school in Michigan (2019) to overtime in their buildings in recent years.

None taken. My pops is a WP grad.

As for the Ivy League accepting the Service Academies, it will never happen. The Ancient 8 are way too elitist and way too liberal to let ONE military school in, let alone two or all

Plus going to FCS would greatly diminish America’s Game.

I know Navy has been down- 1 winning season (2019) since 2018, with a 30-42 record in that time.

The Monken years has been Army’s best run of success since the mid 1980s when they originally went to the triple option. They are 64-37 (won or shared CiC trophy 5 times) since 2016.

Nobody cares about chAir Force

You are probably right, but they might change their mind if Congress threatened to cut off all Federal subsidies and research funding, investigate their status as non-profits, or otherwise "work up a 'Number 6' on 'em."

Not only that, but I doubt the academies would want to join the Ancient 8.

1. Athletic teams. America’s Game is too important. They would dominate the Ivies in football and lacrosse. The ivy doesn’t support wrestling (the Ivy League is a part of the EIWA). A lot of former athletes would not be happy with the move (I know multiple people from multiple sports at WP)

2. Academic difference (no grad schools, all 3 have prep schools).
