Trump honors Army football team, ponders 'waiver' allowing service academy athletes to go pro
For the second year in a row, the Black Knights were honored by President Donald Trump for winning the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy, awarded to the service academy team that performs the best against its service academy counterparts. In 2018, Army beat Air Force 17-14 on Nov. 3 and then knocked off Navy 17-10 on Dec. 8 in Philadelphia.
“Over the last two seasons, you’ve won 21 of your last 26 games and now hold the second-longest active winning streak in college football, trailing only the Clemson Tigers,” Trump remarked. “Every time you enter the field, you prove you are Army strong.” Trump said he spoke with Army coach Jeff Monken about the idea and remarked that it could help with recruiting.
In 2016, the Department of Defense Pro Sports Policy was revised to allow a service member to “request to be tendered an appointment in the reserve upon graduation and satisfy their commissioned service obligation in the Ready Reserve.” That change allowed Navy star quarterback Keenan Reynolds, a fifth-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens, to play right away. Before that, the policy said service academy graduates could not enter pro sports until they served 24 months of active duty.
