Army football continues to wrestle with the decision to keep its football team as an independent program. The Black Knights remain without a conference affiliation headed into Saturday's annual game against Navy. Army's other sports programs play in the Patriot League. Air Force hasn't been an independent since 1979 and play in the Mountain West. Navy joined the American Athletic Conference in 2015 and had mixed success.
