The Army vs. Navy Game Could Be Moving

“Army football coach Jeff Monken favors moving the historic Army-Navy game to Thanksgiving weekend, he told The Athletic, a move that could free up the College Football Playoff to start a week earlier,” The Athletic reported.

“The Army-Navy game has been played on the second Saturday of December since 2009 to stand apart from conference championship games. Prior to that, it was usually played the weekend after Thanksgiving weekend, protecting it from being played amid other rivalry games.”

Monken is pushing for widespread changes, too, like moving the entire calendar up so the season ends on Jan. 1.

“There’s not an appetite for the college football season to go all the way to the end of January,” Monken said. “There’s a real hope that we can get this thing into one semester, and have the championship game around Jan. 1, which I think would be awesome.”
