And it's logistics.
It's a damned sports stadium. Someone helps keeps the lights on in those things...who? Corporate sponsors.
And since you don't seem to be aware of it...the military academies are colleges. You get a degree and a commission when you graduate.
How, I am 54, I can remember 40 years ago, that college and even pro sports stadiums were named after historical figures, and not giant corporations. I can remember when there were no corporate ads under the ice in the NHL.
I get private business supporting college and even High School sports, that has always happened. But it has become so fucking intrusive that sports has become more about greed, than the acutal sport itself, especially college and highschool sports.
I am actually to the point in my life, that I would actually wrather watch a local cable broadcast HS football game, because it doesn't treat the fucking game as a corporate ad or X box video game with graphics I never grew up with.
Did the soldiers of D-day advertise "This invasion of Normady brought to you by Aalstate". NO.
