Gillespie / TNS) Head coach Ken Niumatalolo made a surprising announcement to the Navy football team following practice on Wednesday. The 10th-year head coach informed the players that Friday's scheduled practice had been cancelled, abruptly bringing an end to spring camp.
Niumatalolo had vowed to use all 15 spring practices allowed by the NCAA, but apparently had seen enough and decided to reward the Midshipmen.
