Preserving America’s Game

This executive order establishes an exclusive, conflict-free national broadcast window for the historic Army-Navy Game by prohibiting competing postseason college football games.

Sectors Impacted Positively

• Aerospace and Defense: Increased national visibility for service academies supports long-term recruitment and military morale.
• Broadcasting (Incumbent Rights Holder): Guaranteed lack of competition maximizes viewership ratings, boosting premium advertising revenue for the specific network airing the game.
• Regional Tourism and Hospitality: Sustained focus on the host city ensures maximum economic impact from fans attending the protected "stand-alone" event.

Sectors Impacted Negatively

• Media and Entertainment (Competitor Networks): Mandatory rescheduling of high-revenue College Football Playoff games away from prime Saturday slots disrupts programming lineups and ad delivery.
• Sports Betting and Gaming: A reduced volume of concurrent high-stakes games on a major sports Saturday may lower the total betting "handle" and parlay volume for that day.
• Digital Advertising: Loss of inventory for concurrent high-impact sports commercials limits reach for brands seeking to target the broader college football demographic in a single window.
