Well look at it this way for a minute...Navy gives ZERO benefit to play on the national SOS scene but is considered a negative by most people. We get nothing but jokes by the national media for playing them. We get nothing but injuries playing them. And, lately we arent exactly demolishing them when we do play. I promise you OSU wont schedule them again after their last game together. Way too much to lose and NOTHING to gain. Do you think for a moment that anyone not ND or Navy sits there and appreciates ND giving them charity every year as payback for what happened in WW2? I have a very good friend that went to the Naval academy and even the Navy guys dont like ND. I mean, really, really aggressive to win at all costs vs ND. So if you are telling me that all the negatives do not outweigh the ONE positive for playing then Im gonna guess you get taken to the cleaners a lot by salesmen.
Welcome to 2015. Tradition and honor on the large scale in America is for the most part, dead if you havent figured that out lately. You either win big, which all the ND fan base demands, or you have the honor, academics and unyielding requirements. You can have it one way or the other but not both.
