Big East makeover: Meet Navy's new-look football conference … so far

By Kevin Lilley on November 27, 2012 Navy, Uncategorized

Navy football has existed outside the mess of conference alignment for more than a century. Now, two-plus years before it joins the Big East, Navy fans have reason to pay attention to who’s moving where. And if they’re paying attention, they’re not liking what they’re seeing. First, Rutgers announced it would leave the conference to join the Big Ten in 2014, a year before the Mids make the move to the Big East. Then, rumors swirled that the Atlantic Coast Conference could poach either Connecticut or Louisville from the Big East to fill a spot left by Maryland, which is…

Bring on Joe Pa and the Nittany Lions. Fresh off putting a scare in Ohio State last season, Navy will travel to Happy Valley to face Penn State on Sept. 15, 2012. “Playing Penn State again will bring back many memories for our alumni and friends of Navy Football,” said Navy Athletic Director Chet Gladchuck. “The opportunity to visit one of the most impressive stadiums in all of college football and take on the challenge of this storied program will be very inspiring to our coaches and student-athletes.” Navy and Penn State have played 37 times, mostly in the 1960s…
