00:08 Well, conference musical chairs winding down, but not for certain schools.
00:12 Army makes a commitment to join the AAC, American, as early as next year.
00:18 Joining its foe, Navy, in the football side.
00:23 Army remains in the Patriot League for all other sports.
00:26 And while the deal with ESPN continues to generate some significant dollars for those
00:32 schools, about $9 million a year, as compared to $30 million or $40 million for other conferences,
00:37 the CBS Sports Network deal with Army stays in place until 2028.
00:43 The Army-Navy game continues to be played, but as a non-conference game, why not?
00:49 And the bottom line is, Army generates significant exposure, flexibility, and more dollars with
00:55 this move.
00:57 More moves on the way for the service academies?
00:59 Well, we may be out of conferences.
