[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 959467, member: 2957"] In CFB today, Army is irrelevant. Yes they have fans but … they will never win a Natty, they will never get a $70 million media rights deal and yes, compared to 30-odd other teams, “nobody cares“. They are interested, but not enough to monetize it in any meaningful way. I looked at the stats. Army was ranked in 2018 and before that … 1996. Hardly a significant player on the national stage. And to be fair, there’s 80 other programs that are irrelevant. Bowling Green, Buffalo, Charlotte, Holy Cross … are all now irrelevant. That doesn’t mean they don’t have fans. I think there’s a lot of emotion wrapped up in the Army-Navy Game, no question. But beyond that, there’s not a lot of media coverage that translates into demand that people are willing to pay for. If they were, they wouldn‘t be a candidate for the AAC which pays what, $7 million? Thats 80% less than an ACC team. We have different definitions of what being relevant means. [/QUOTE]
