Interesting Read - Moving Army Navy Date?

[Oliphant]

The Army-Navy Game thrives when it has a standalone time slot.

The powers know this. Place it on rivalry week and America ignores it in favor of Michigan-OSU and Alabama-Auburn—same situation with conference championship weekend.

Thanksgiving is a no-go- the Cadets want their holiday and the NFL owns that day and isn't sharing. Black Friday is full of games but CBS could make it fit.

The reality is this: Army-Navy draws 8 million when its competition is a random bowl game or the FCS playoffs. When placed against top-of-the-line FBS action, it is routed quicker than the militia at Camden.

Americans are patriotic until it comes to sacrificing their football.
