Is this a serious question? Are you unaware of the fact that there is no such college?

I was going to make a joke about the Coast Guard, but even they have a football team. They play in some conference called the NEWMAC.

Technically they have a third in Quantico but I guess that’s where we groom the coaching staff.

Hey, you try working with Vietnam era equipment when all your desert storm era equipment finally crapped out.

They don’t have a service academy, and the branch is considered part of the US Navy.

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.

quote:

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:

quote:

Alderson Broaddus
Army West Point
Caldwell
Chestnut Hill
Cornell
Mansfield
Navy
Penn
St. Thomas Aquinas


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.

It would be unfair. Those leathernecks would beat everyone 80-0.
