Navy athletics cutting costs to address budget crunch

[whaler11]

But the players belong to the DoD, therefore players are still subject to those rules and regulations which makes the team subject to them. He is referring to the funding for the team and the coaches not necessarily the rules and regulations associated with the functioning of the team itself.

And I’m pretty sure we are talking about the finances of the athletic department not court marshalling the halfback.

What I am getting at is they may have seperate funding for football operations but anything that touches the DoD, to include externally funded programs are slowed by the processes, rules, and regulations associated with that connection. I'm not an all-knowing expert about everything DoD but my 16 years of working within the Department has given me some insight into how things work.

I get it that 99%+ of the budget comes from non-federally sourced stuff.....but maybe I am missing the entire point of this conversation from everyone else's perspective. Wouldn't be the first time on here or anywhere else.
