What would it cost to buy some athletes and carry them. Stick them with some desk job after graduation. Why is the academy the only place where military fraud is looked down upon?
Build some enthusiasm for the Army not shame. They can’t even fill their stands.
Can’t even kick a PAT
So stupid.
Because they don’t pay for players and it would be a huge scandal if they did.
On top of that the training and the discipline required to be part of one of the Academy teams is far beyond what most five star recruits ever wanna do.
These kids are truly exceptional but not because they’re 65 and can jump out the building
