Military school recruiting rules?

I'm thinking of starting a dynasty with either Navy or Air Force. Most like Navy b/c of Ricky Dobbs, and I'm a huge fan of the triple option. As far as recruiting though, I'm not exactly sure the rules for Army, Navy, and Air Force. I think it's you have to play all 4 years, and can't redshirt? Any other rules I can put into effect to give my dynasty a more realistic feel? Sorry if I sound dumb, but I never really read or heard about military school recruiting rules and can't find a good place to find them.

Re: Military school recruiting rules?

The military academies are strictly four-year institutions, so athletes normally aren't/shouldn't be redshirted. I suppose it could happen, but they would graduate and receive their commissions and still have a year of amateur eligibility left.

As far as recruiting is concerned, they would still have to go through the regular process of enrolling at the school: applying, having a congressman give them a recommendation/appointment, swearing in/taking their oath, and going through basic training. But, I assume that the coaches can recruit from those schools like coaches from other schools can, minus the attraction of offering scholarships, because, I think, the American tax payers pay for their education (as only seems fitting, they are, after all, being obliged to defend us).

As far as EA's NCAA Football is concerned, it treats these schools like any other.

Re: Military school recruiting rules?

How about only going after recruits that desire a high academic prestige rating?

Re: Military school recruiting rules?

The most basic thing is that 99% of players with any NFL dreams will never go to one of the academies. So basically no 5 or 4 stars guys and in reality most 3 stars wouldn't give Navy a look. I restrict myself to only talking to 3 players who are 3 stars and only those 3. The rest of my recruiting class has to be 2 stars or less.

I'm pretty sure that the military teams have weight restrictions at the lineman positions, but I'm not sure what that limit is though.

I always thought so but they have some huge boys pushing 300 lbs lately.
