i recall the squirminess on a couple of football recruits accepted at Harvard, but dinged by OU.  I don't recall the Army guys. 

interesting bury in the linked article was the Blaik cheating scandal

Harvard had its own athlete/cheating scandal last year:
http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/25/opinion/mi...index.html

The Blaik cheating scandal and expulsion of 37 members of the football team essentially doomed Army football.  Until the season they expelled all but two lettermen, they had won 75.6% of their games.  Since then, they've won 43.9%.  3 national championships before, none after.  Nine undefeated seasons before, one in the 56 years since.  7 seasons of 2 or fewer losses from 1953 onward, 45 seasons of 2 or fewer losses before then.
