Jack Bogaczyk from the Charleston Daily Mail reports that a series between Marshall and Navy is in the works:
I'M TOLD Marshall is closing in on announcing a very attractive - and fan-drivable - future football home-and-home series with Navy.
Herd Athletic Director Mike Hamrick is beginning to fill some schedule vacancies that he'd held with the hopes of the WVU series continuing on an annual basis. That obviously isn't going to happen.
No word yet on when or where Marshall-Navy might start, but it isn't likely before 2014 or '15, because the Midshipmen don't have openings until then. They'll be the first service academy team to play in Huntington.
The only one of the three academies MU has played is Army, in 1920 and 1997, both at West Point. The latter game was the Herd's first victory after it returned to major college status.
