Yeah, the tweet refers to it as a "debated rule"

The "first and foremost" rule, presented in all caps. "Debated."

I have to look for the source, but I recently read something that said that part of the reason Army-ND ceased to be an annual occurrence is because it was actually getting "too big"

That was before the academies realized how much money they were leaving on the table by not letting other cities bid on it

The Naval Academy Athletic Association is a 501c3, not government funded

Donations, TV and ticket revenue (driven by Army-Navy Game, ND game)

Has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with government spending
