re: Why don’t the Marines have a College Football team?

Was wondering if the Marines had their own Sprint Football team, but they don't. The coach for the Navy Spring team is Major Alfonso Meidus, USMC. NavySports.com

If you're not familiar with Sprint Football here is the biggest difference in it and "Regular" college football.

A body weight of 170.0 lbs. or less, or
A body weight of 183.0 lbs. or less while simultaneously (within ½ hour) having body fat of 5% or greater and urine specific gravity less than or equal to 1.020.

It's not for the big dummies of the world.

You have to be able to get into one of these schools:

Two Baton Rouge kids are on the Army Sprint team roster

1. Kobe Semien who played WR at The Dunham School
2. Matthew Tilley who played WR at Catholic.

The list of former players could be called impressive,.A few surprises on there.
