Message: [QUOTE="kibblesnbits, post: 4465974, member: 97"] Navy made a huge mistake joining the AAC. When they were independent they could get in their "required" CiC plus Notre Dame games and fill out the remaining schedule with enough winnable games (lots of directional teams) to ensure bowl eligibility. They could also ensure that they weren't playing too often against those teams so the coaches and players couldn't get comfortable facing the option offense. Now most of the AAC teams know Navy's system well and how to prepare for it. Meanwhile Army went in the other direction and has had much more success since going independent. If Gladchuck was smart they would leave the AAC and try to negotiate a joint TV deal with Army. [/QUOTE]
