I have always thought Army had the toughest row to hoe out of the service academies, just due to the fact that it’s harder to sell athletes, who may still harbor some professional ambitions or at least have civilian FBS options, on joining “the one where people get shot at by tanks.” AIR AND SEA SUPERIORITY IN THE POST-WW2 ERA AIN’T FOUGHT NOBODY, PAAAWWWWLLL!

Then, if you do have some loony who’s into that, Navy at least still offers the Marine option and presumably a dining hall with the full Crayola spread.
