Re: Improving Service Academy Football

I think getting a full-ride to a university with that much prestige academically does help. Not everyone coming out of HS is assuming they are going to the NFL and might actually put academics ahead of athletics. These individuals could choose to play at a service academy instead, as long as they are also willing to put up with the rigorous off-field activities.

Five years in the Navy/Army/Marines after graduation is a bit of a negative for a lot of kids who put academics above NFL.

Navy is only 2 years.
