If they had a century long tradition sure...but no. Army and Air Force would be awesome. Good for political clout too.

Isn't Coast Guard's attendance less than 1,000. Plus, UConn probably does not want another FBS school in state.

What about the national guard? Be all you can be on the weekends.

I was stationed at the Academy 27 years ago and I remember game day being less impressive than my po dunk high school in NC on Friday night. It's a very good academic institution with very little focus on sports.

The Coast Guard is affiliated with Homeland Security. I wouldn't in any sense of the word consider them a Service Academy

The AAC should instead consider teams from The Texas Penal System.

Adam Sandler for commissioner after Aresco?

Not sure if people are recognizing this was a joke or not...

Fwiw, The Air Force has only been around for about 70 years. If The American was concerned about improving golf though, they should be the first call.

And the military academies aren't? If Army, Air Force and Navy football dropped to the Patriot League, would anyone notice? Would a large number of military personnel care?

I'm sure if there was a transition period, Coast Guard would be a fine FCS program with 25-35K attendance, granted the tradition is not there like the main branches.

Take Merchant Marine Academy too

The AAC could always add The Citadel or VMI.

AAC? Troll fail.

CGA isn't ever transitioning their sports to a higher level of competition.

Yes, it's a joke.

Perfect fit for the AAC East footprint.

And, the Citadel did beat South Carolina last month and averages almost 10,000 in home game attendance....

Yes after the Wichita State Football thread.
