Either we get a waiver from the ACC and go to Annapolis or they decide to come to ND on a modest-cost arrangement to ND. We now both seem to be open on Sept 12, so that’s a possible date.

Playing in Indy, as previously suggested, works within the ACC guidelines and appears compatible with historic Navy home game format, but makes no sense with a limited crowd, if any.

I don’t see ND giving up a future home game to get Navy to come to ND this season. Doesn’t make financial sense, and the financial considerations have become acute. But, hey, maybe we will.

The MACtion comparison doesn’t really carry here because we don’t play at their places.
