Navy FB brings more than tradition to AAC

Welcome aboard, Midshipmen

- 11 out of 12 years in a row going to a bowl game and winning at least 8 games.

- In that same span, Navy has more wins against Power 5 schools than any non Power 5 school in the country with 21.

- Navy has more wins in that span (100) than every team in the AAC except Cincinnati (101).

"The point is that Navy has been playing and beating quality competition on a consistent basis for the last decade. The level of competition in the American Athletic Conference will certainly provide a challenge for Navy, but don't expect an extensive "transition" process.

The AAC is getting much more than just tradition from Navy. They are getting a successful football program that will be ready to open doors, fight and compete from day one."

Navy is a tremendous addition. Great program, great tradition, great location, and a great institution.

They are a home run for the AAC. Great brand, competitive team, able to work in the West division, national appeal, unlikely to ever go P5.

Big props to Aresco.

I still think there is going to be a 12 team national "best of the rest" conference. Only question is whether it is 10, 12, or 14 teams.

Navy will also be rolling their own contract for the Army-Navy game into the AAC which adds an additional 5 million a year starting in 2017. They could have kept it out but said they were all in
