F- A/F, that means navy will fall back as well... we should end our matchup with them. No sense in preparing for a unique style of offense.

wtf? I dont get this at all. Why wouldnt a school that recruits from all over the country not want to be in a conference with nationwide exposure? Do they not like the extra cash?

With all do respect to Lt. Gen. Mike Gould, terrible [deleted] decision... Stop wasting tax dollars when you could be making money with the new Big East contract. Typical Government type of decision...

I have read that AF also feels its long time rivalries with Colorado State and Wyoming are extremely important to its fan base and does not want to jeopardize them.
