Navy should consider the Big East. Believe that we'd still be able to play AF and Army as well as ND every year, which are key rivalries. In the way off chance that we put together a top 8 team, we should give ourselves a chance to play for the big $ BCS bowls and against commensurate competition if we so deserve.
Too funny......Navy in the Big East?? Dream on du*$@$$, you cannot be serious. You can be the new doormat instead of Rutgers. I am sure that they would not mind.
And by the way, a 12-2 record against a schedule of complete creampuffs is hardly "good" football. I think it's fair to say the Gateway Conference probably isn't known to almost anybody on the national scene. I'll take any schedule Navy has had in the last 20 years against that poor excuse for athletic department travel dollars. One thing's for sure, the Gateway Conference isn't in the running for any conference we'd join?
Why don't you hang out alone in your myopic blogs of little known conferences and lame football schedules and come back when you guys beat someone in division ONE?
I like to see Navy as an independent team in the future, but it's always hard to pass up the money and added recruitment that comes with a big conference.
