<p>Shame of all this is that the Navy started this process many years ago. The first Navy grad I remember being allowed to skip their duty and go pro was Napolean McCallum, then David Robinson. They always say they allowed Robinson to play in the NBA because he grew too tall to serve on a submarine - as if the Navy only has posts on subs. </p>
<p>Let’s hope this causes some new thinking in the DoD - why not have both Navy and Army stop competing in Div. 1 football. They should be playing in the Ivy League.</p>
