Who is joe schad? If true this should open the door to the other academy schools.

It's reported by ESPN now:

Wish they would come sooner. I'm happy with Navy joining though.

I think this is great news but I don't see how joinIng in 2015 will help th BE tv negotiations without a 12th member and a championship game until 2015 at the earliest......unless the conference is thinking bigger (14)?

McMurphy reporting it now. Says another team could be added for '13.

navy has alot of TV and bowl contracts that they need to work out so I'm sure thats why they are waiting until 2015

I know why they are waiting.....but I just don't see how waiting until '15 helps our upcoming tv contract, especially since you can't hold a champ game until '15. Don't get me wrong I love the add but we need 12 soon so that the tv deal starts to put out the money as soon as possible and hold a champ game, IMO.

**** that is a long time. I hope the BE has come around by then.
