It's good to see they turned themselves in, not like North Carolina continuing their dirty deeds for years and doing everything in there power to keep it a secret.
Army has disciplined 20 cadets for promoting underage drinking and has self-reported a football recruiting violation to the NCAA stemming from an incident that took place earlier this year, according to a report by The Gazette of Colorado Springs.
According to documents obtained by The Gazette, Army treated recruits to a party, dinner with female cadets, cash from boosters and VIP treatment on a party bus that included cheerleaders and a police escort in January.
The U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, acknowledged the misconduct to the newspaper.
Two officers and two coaches were reprimanded, but those involved will not face additional punishment, according to the report.
The players involved, including starting quarterback Angel Santiago, are expected to play in Army's next game against Air Force on Nov. 1.
"Although seen as a minor infraction by the NCAA, the U.S. Military Academy takes this very seriously and adjudicated this at the highest level of the disciplinary code," West Point said in a statement. "We adjudicated this under Article 10 of the Cadet Disciplinary Code and all cadets appeared before the Commandant's Disciplinary Board."
According to The Gazette, Lt. Col. Chad Davis, West Point's director of football operations, also recruited cheerleaders and players on Army's women's basketball and volleyball teams to act as dates to recruits in February.

Have they got something wrong here. Why did the Gazette of Colorado Springs report this? That is where the Air force Academy is located.

Under age drinking? Everything should be legal at 18 in my book. If I was a cop, I would not enforce that stupid law.
