Army West Point Black Knights

A historically independent program, Army will join a conference for the second time beginning in 2024. The Black Knights were members of Conference USA from 1998 to 2004 with largely negative results. However, West Point AD Mike Buddie is convinced this will be an entirely different situation based on how much the football program has grown in the last two decades.

Joe Londergan of Sports Illustrated offers insights from the last week and what lies ahead, including a quick conversation with Buddie, who addressed the media on a Zoom call earlier this week.
