This Senate resolution formally recognizes the Army-Navy football game as "America's Game" and calls for it to maintain its exclusive broadcasting status on the second Saturday of December. The resolution urges broadcasters, college athletic associations, and universities to avoid scheduling competing college football games during the Army-Navy game's time slot to preserve its national prominence and patriotic significance. The legislation affects the broader college football community by requesting they voluntarily clear the schedule for this military academy matchup, which has been played annually since 1890. The resolution also asks federal agencies like the Federal Communications Commission and Department of Defense to review their policies to better promote and coordinate around the game's civic importance. No funding is involved since this is a non-binding resolution expressing the Senate's opinion rather than creating new programs or requirements.
