Army and Navy are so boring to watch. Handoff....run, handoff other side...run, option...run. BORING.

I would take them ANY day over SMU. Please let this happen.  Our conference will be stronger for the exchange.

Army-Navy football game staying on CBS through 2028
 

The Army-Navy football rivalry will remain in its current television home until at least 2028 thanks to an agreement between the service academies and CBS Sports announced Thursday.

Terms weren't disclosed for the 10-year deal, which goes into effect after the current contract expires in 2018. Sources told Forbes that the current deal, inked in 2008, costs the network about $5 million a year, leading the financial publication in 2012 to label it "The most undervalued television deal in sports."

In 2009, the game moved to its new home on the second Saturday of December, making it the only top-tier college football contest on the schedule that day. The shift "allowed us to further shine a spotlight on Army-Navy, as we tell the compelling stories on and off the field of the young people at the service academies," said Sean McManus, chairman of CBS Sports, in a news release announcing the deal.

VCU and Dayton are the 2 being talked about as the non-football members. I don't know enough about either to pick which I'd prefer. 

That’s extremely tough tbh. I will say Dayton has a DEEP fanbase. Regularly a top 25 team in attendance.

We should be happy with either one. Both great programs! VCU fits geographically. Dayton a little less but might be a bigger fan base overall. Both great

I think Dayton has a more National brand.  We could play them in the Charleston Tourney second game, either them or LSU.

Army for football, VCU for basketball. Let's do this.

Why would we need a basketball add? If we have east/west divisions it might make sense, but otherwise 13 teams would be fine. Before we joined there were 11 teams.

I'm sure that's why Army-Navy is one of the most-watched games every year.

Army is the ONLY football brand of significance east of the Great Plains left in play.

If it ain't Army the pool is a bunch of programs that are median AAC quality or worse.

Sun Belt has Georgia State and ODU and hold your head right you can put Texas State in the pool.

CUSA has FIU and can good faith argue MTSU/Nashville. Liberty is the biggest brand though not an urban(ish) state school like most of the league.

MAC has Buffalo (who is in the AAU), Toledo and well sure NIU is technically in the Chicago TV market. Can sort of claim Indianapolis with Ball State or Ann Arbor/Detroit with Eastern Michigan but yeah it's Buffalo and Toledo that actually fit the model.

No one in the is anything more than a spot filler and question is the spot in the middle or somewhere down at the bottom.

It is usually the only college game available to watch. Move it to say Thanksgiving and let's see how it does.

Yes, Army has a National following and brand, those others mentioned are not even close.  Probably because of Servicemen around the world and all the Army/Navy National games every year.  But not so much because they have been that great in football.

If the AAC gets Army and VCU, I think Aresco has us positioned well when the ACC inevitably explodes. I wrote a thread about it here:

If the ACC is able to stay together when the top brands leave and backfill, SMU may block us from the list of invitations which would leave us in a mediocre version of CUSA 3.0. That would suck. 

However, if Aresco has a healthy media deal to lure the middle-of-the-pack brands to the AAC, he could effectively kill the ACC and leave SMU behind forcing them to join CUSA, Sun Belt, or go independent.

When we go to war, it's good to know you're the one that wants to get your hair right.

Interesting.  I didn't know Dayton had such a big following.   On paper VCU looks like it's been the more successful program of the two over the last couple decades.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      I would take 30-60 as a success overall but what I really don't want is a defense that gets absolutely steamrolled in any one game. Show me you can adjust during games to counter opponent's adjustments. I do put some of Caponi's failure on Eric Morris with his poor game management so I guess we'll see if he can do some soul searching this offseason.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      I'm sure there are some more experienced guys that have legitimate claim to serious looks. I just never got the vibe that there was one or two home-run hires available to us.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      One stop. 51st and 117th at ACU is not success. Stop lying to yourself. I'm bitching because this is an atrocious hire. Allowed 39 to Texas State and 45 to a bad UCF team which included being ran over for almost 400 yards and 6 TDs. I would have wanted one of the Co-DCs (or both) from Northern Illinois, Bowling Green, or Miami (OH). We could money whip any and all of their DCs. You want to see success that doesn't involve getting steamrolled for 40 like Cassity's defense, look at those teams. NIU: 7th in total defense, highest G5 ranking. Held now #5 Notre Dame to 14 and NC State to 24. Most points allowed was 25 to Ball State. They have co-DCs we could have doubled in pay for less than Caponi. Bowling Green (I brought them up in a thread a couple days ago, sorry you don't read other posts): 29th in total defense, have co-DCs one of which spent almost a decade as DC in DFW high schools (including Haltom City when Lance Dunbar was there). Held Texas A&M to 26 and now #3 Penn State to 34, both on the road. Miami (OH): 14th in total defense. Held Northwestern to 13, Cincinnati to 27, and Notre Dame to 28. Most don't have Texas ties. I don't think that matters as much in today's day. I'd like to know when's the last time Texas ties helped us in football anyways. It certainly doesn't stop the bigger Texas programs. What all those schools do have is low ressources and yet a demonstrated ability to hold their P4 opponents to respectable scoring outputs. Regarding Cassity, I put zero stock in his top 20 defense. That is 100% a reflection of the CUSA competition. Allowing 39 to Texas State and 45 to a 4-8 UCF team is unacceptable and shows what he's actually capable of. I was ridiculed for calling out our game management and highly inconsistent offense early this year only to be proven right. I'll take the hit here again but I don't want to read BS about what went wrong if and when he fails.
