Mostly because I need to focus on something other than that abomination of a game today, I wanted to ask everyone what they think is behind Mike Aresco asking Navy to join the conference earlier than 2015 (the planned date). I couldn't come up with much, but here are my thoughts:
1) It is tied to the tv contract negotiations (ESPN being the most likely, since they are in an exclusivity period right now) as a bargaining piece for a certain dollar amount.
2) It is tied to the addition of another team becoming the 14th football member of the Big East (Air Force??). I don't think that BYU would care when Navy came into the conference, since their concern is pretty much tv money and bowl access.
Does anyone have any other info on it, or is there any speculation as to why?
