A jealous hat off to Navy for conceiving this event.
Why's it taking so long for Army to take a clue from its rival and likewise tap the well of military fervor and host three major conference teams at Christl?!
It might be tougher for Army for a couple,of reasons:
1. Annapolis is a very nice city with plenty of restaurants, hotels, and infrastructure. The area outside West Point is pretty much a black hole, albeit with some scenic areas.
2. Navy has some basketball history - David Robinson etc - which might give them more credibility with teams and fans. Also,in attracting opponents, DeChellis almost certainly knows a lot more high-level coaches than Jimmy Allen.
