They (and Navy) should have to play us (PL teams) regularly, a la ND and the ACC.

That would be nice, but I don't expect to see anything like that in my lifetime.

Actually, statistically yes. Everyone of us has a 100% chance of dying and no one here has a 100% chance of being here next week, much less 5+ years from now.
And I hope you are well and not trying to subtly tell us something.

Thanks, 8485. I had the same concern.

...as did I. THis reminds me of the statement some years back by Colorado's Governor Lamb [when he was speaking about mandatory retirement]. (slight paraphrasing) "The elderly have an obligation to get out of the way to make room for the rest of us." I always wondered what he said to his Mom on Mother's Day. Perhaps something like...Dear Mom, You still here? When one poster spoke about us old guys (I believe he used a different word) dying off so that positive changes (in his opinion) could be made, I found it a bit creepy.

They (and Navy) should have to play us (PL teams) regularly, a la ND and the ACC. They already are. Since 2011, here are all played and scheduled games between the academies and the PL:
Army
2011 - Fordham 2013 - Fordham 2015 - Fordham & Bucknell -- a late rally against the Bison prevented the Cadets from going 0-2 in the league. 2016 - Lafayette 2017 - Fordham 2018 - Colgate & Lafayette 2020 - Bucknell 2021 - Bucknell 2022 - Colgate -- interestingly they also play Dartmouth in '22 2023 - Holy Cross
Navy
2015 - Colgate 2016 - Fordham 2018 - Lehigh 2019 - Holy Cross 2020 - Lafayette
Keep in mind both academies also like to periodically schedule VMI due to the military connection and Navy has a sort of mini-rivalry with Delaware and plays them usually at least once every 3-4 years.
