I'll devil's advocate here. This whole argument is crap. There is nothing special or sacred about Alumni Hall. Navy is a D1 sports program who fields athletic teams and, in this regard, they should be treated like any other sports program. Its not like this was taking place on the Quad or at graduation. It's a gym like any other.

This is a young team, winning their first League game on the road, a team that has suffered with poor chemistry in recent years, that is now energized and playing stronger, better, team basketball.

If this were any other bulding, folks would not be alarmed.
