and in all likelihood could have stayed as long as he wanted after that.

Ken was offered the BYU job:

Navy's Ken Niumatalolo was offered BYU job, but with stipulations, sources say

Sources with knowledge of the negotiations between BYU and Niumatalolo — who decided Wednesday night to remain at Navy — indicated that Niumatalolo may not have been the school’s first choice to lead the program.

No one is getting kicked out of the the Naval Academy for having beer or sex.

Beer: They might be if they're < 21. Sex: depends on if they're accused of rape.

I may be wrong but I think the drinking age for military personnel is 18?

Not true. Unless they are stationed somewhere with a lower drinking age.

They’ll be put on restriction, but not kicked out.

If they get caught underage drinking multiple times they will be kicked out

And no one attending BYU is expected to serve in the military after graduating.

Do we ever have players who are also in ROTC? They have a committment to serve.

The limitation is they can’t admit anyone they want. It’s easier for football
