Army should join the MAC

Joining the MAC would be a good move for the US Military Academy at West Point, AKA Army.  For starters they have an opening available and they would love to have the Black Knights of the Hudson.  With the direction college football is headed in life as an independent is going to be tough.  This is why Navy gave up over a century of independence for Big East membership.  Army's problem though is competitiveness; its why their 7 years in C-USA didn't work out.  The new-look Big East is even better than C-USA was when Army was a part of it so I don't think that is really a good option for them to explore.  The MAC on the other hand is considerably less competitive than the old C-USA was and I think that Army would fit right in, be able to win games, reach bowl games, and contend for a conference crown.  On the downside, it would mean having to sacrifice Army's national schedule but I think the infusion of success they would have in the MAC would make up for what they gave up.
