But i always wonder how much of an advantage Navy has with everyone there essentially on full ride scholarship and large rosters. I wonder if the new roster limits are going to even things up in that conference a little bit?

advantage? In order to get athletes to the naval academy you have to get people: who want to go to a military academy, want to be in the military afterwards, have to put up with the day to day nonsense that athletes in other schools don't have to
at first glance, I assumed Navy would be the clear favorite but after running the numbers and tracking each athlete’s individual progression projections for indoor season, Lehigh is projected to win by several points over Navy.

It doesn’t seem like that has been a problem for them or Army? I think there is a reason Navy has one the indoor Patriot League Championships about 10 years in a row now (i stopped counting) and Army has pretty much finished 2nd or 3rd during that period as well.
And they go into the military as highly paid officers compared to their enlisted counterparts. As for the day to day, I think high caliber athletes are exactly the “type A” personalities that would be fine with being in that type of environment. I mean you HAVE to participate in sports (intramural or varsity) as a condition of your attendance I believe.
quite an estute observation, will buy big on Lehigh
I'll also go all in with Lehigh because they have those two amazing track coaches, plus like 7 jumps coaches, who probably haven't injured their best jumpers and sprinters yet!. iykyk....
I’d like to remind the patriot league that Jimmy Carter is the best runner to come out of the naval academy bc the rest of them are too busy being semen and licking up Thomas Simgos spluge
