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.

yes they all have to play a sport but most are playing intramural type sports if not on any type of athletic scholarship with Army

They do, I think a lot of guys play sprint football which is football for smaller people.

Those are intramural sports, not regular sports.

I think it's more that every player is already on scholarship so there's very little difference in cost. The athletic department isn't paying to house, feed, tuition, etc.
