Bill Wagner: How does Navy football move forward after having consecutive games postponed due to COVID-19? | COMMENTARY

The Midshipmen have seen consecutive home games postponed due to coronavirus issues on the Naval Academy campus that have infiltrated the football program.

At this point, it seems highly unlikely those American Athletic Conference contests against Tulsa and Memphis will be rescheduled because there are no mutual dates available. However, it’s possible the AAC might force the teams involved to shift their schedules to find a way, and one such option could be a Dec. 5 date that Navy has kept open since it plays archrival Army the following Saturday.

The Black Knights of the Hudson are off the weekend before the big showdown, and having to play a rescheduled AAC contest instead of taking two full weeks to prepare for the archrival would create a competitive disadvantage.
