Obviously USNA relaxes these for football players. I can't imagine West Point doesn't as well. The service academies could not play competitive football otherwise.
My son plays Sprint Football, which has a 172 pound weight limit, measured every Tuesday. (Famous Sprint alumni include George Allen, Donald Rumsfeld, Robert Kraft, Hoodie Allen, and Jimmy Carter. The league title almost always comes down to Army-Navy.) He says a lot of guys actually play at 200 pounds or more (Friday or Saturday) and he routinely loses 6-10 pounds during their daily conditioning. (Thus the need for a refrigerator.) The past two years they played a DII or III (or maybe club) team full of 300 pound plus linemen. They won both games, but lost 15 guys to injury each time, so they stopped doing that. I dropped him off last week in Annapolis and he weighed 175, so he won't have any trouble making weight. He's a little heavier this year than last and he can kick my ass. Guy on the right.

Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working .I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work. Peter Gibbons
