I heard on the radio the other day that every cadet has to play a sport. If so, that probably has something to do with it.

I don’t think that many guys can dress for games though.

They all don’t travel to road games

I’m sure they’re bound to the NCAA 60 player travel squad limit for road games.

Only half of them dress out for football games. They also have a JV team team that plays a 9 game schedule. I'm guessing they just list both teams on their roster

They won’t all travel. Army, Navy, and Air Force sign a huge number of freshmen to account for not making it through basic, their freshmen year, or just deciding it isn’t for them. Typically by the end of their first year a bunch get cut, but get to stay in school.

It has to be large, to compensate for casualties.
