9-2 and left out of a bowl. Seriously?
Call up the Independence Bowl and tell them we will play

I dont care if we do get blown out on national TV, I wish we would go play Army. Its just wrong that a 9-2 Army team is not going to a bowl.

I totally agree. Heck let Army choose the date and location! I don’t care if the Independence bowl or military bowl is even played at West Point! Our Athletic department is failing us and our student athletes.

I get contracts and all that but, if the PAC-12 teams (I’m talking to you especially USC) are going to pout and opt out because they don’t like their bowl slot, why should Army be punished?

A 25th ranked Pac 12 team gets an NY6 and Coastal does not. Time for the Group of 5 to leave and not play the big boys. I know us group of 5 need the money games but the power 5 needs us for the games as well
NCAA is for about 16 teams Bama, LSU, Florida, Georgia USC, Oregon Clemson, Notre Dame, FSU Oklahoma, Texas Ohio State, Penn State Throw in Wisconsin, Stanford, Miami, Michigan, etc. every couple of years

We could even still do P5/G5 bowl games, just should do our own championship playoffs.

This really upsets me. We all bragged on the Athletic Department for working in “unprecedented times” to help fans watch our favorite team and give the kids a opportunity to play. Then someone decides we shouldn’t award our players with a bowl. Now they can sit at home and watch everyone else play. Thanks a lot whoever made this crappy decision!

All you guys gotta do is come up with about $750,000 in the next 24 hours and problem solved. You give AD Jones one of those big Happy Gilmore checks and he will give Army a call. It's basic economics.

Guess I’ll blame it on old age and new technology. Anyway, the university would get paid by the bowl. I don’t see how it would cost them money.

They have to get something out of it. Why so many are cancelling. It’s why names like Tennessee and MS State are going bowling because they know the SEC money travels

Little surprised our athletic department didn't lobby harder to get us a spot. Seems like we could have found one given the glut of opt outs and it would have netted the athletic department money. Especially if they are content keeping #ChipShip at the helm, why not give him another game with players who are mostly sticking around? You can't tell me the Camellia Bowl was really hoping for the less than 1,000 people they'll have for Marshall vs Buffalo instead of the larger crowd Troy would have drawn. Something is off with how quickly Brent and Co. fired off those "We're Closed for the Season" emails.

This whole mess feels like a swirl of issues that range from money to (The HC we don’t speak of) himself. They want the season over.

You don't think Army can find a better opponent if they wanted a game? And yeah, some of us DO care about another blowout on TV. Spend money that could be spent on something better, like (The HC we don’t speak of)'s buyout. Get blasted to hell on TV. Send seniors out with a crushing loss, what a sendoff! Money down the drain for two more steps back. All for your warm fuzzy feelings.
