Just because the UM game is expendable or not played every single year doesn't mean its not a traditional rival. Most ND and UM people I've known consider it a rivalry game.

What's ND's record over the last 40 years vs Navy? I'd want to keep them on the schedule too. I'm sure everyone in South Bend gets way more pysched up for Navy week than Michigan week

hard to consider it a traditional rivalry when both parties plan on taking a break from the series....maybe your definition of rivalry is different than mine?

and the history of the navy game is why we keep it and always will; great story behind it.

The Navy arguably saved Notre Dame during WWII (when ND provided a much needed training ground for Navy members and they utilized the campus). We play them every year in appreciation. A lot more goes into that game than fans outside the program realize and it is absolutely the second-most important game (not from a football standpoint, but from a historical standpoint) on ND's schedule every year.
