What college program does the most with the least?

I think perhaps you stating that the military academics are NOT examples because they could spend the Pentagon's bank roll and suspend  the other requirements for admittance simply to win football games... is the bad example. 

But do they have "lesser talent" than the teams they are beating?   If the Cadets/Midshipmen/Zoomies were beating Florida, Oklahoma, USC, Wisconsin etc then yes I would say they are beating objectively better talent.  But do  Tulane, Temple, East Carolina, etc all have objectively better talent? San diego state, Wyoming, Nevada etc?  

The academies aren't playing with scrubs.  They fast guys are fast, the strong guys are strong, they are all tough, many if not most were the best players on their teams in HS etc.  

I know this is just one story from one pissant HS assistant coach, but two players in our senior class just signed, one at an academy and one at one of the group of 5 teams that's been mentioned in this thread. The better player is going to the academy.

It’s all good, everyone has their opinions. This is like a “who’s the greatest” topic, there’s no real way to determine.

With regards to size requirements, I think that is more an individual's hardship  than than an Academy one.  Quoting a 2018 Philadelphia Inquirer article : "Navy’s O-line, for example, though one inch and 13 pounds below Division I norms, averages 6-3, 285 pounds."  The difference between Navy and say Tulane is that a 6'3 Midshipmen has to be at 216 to  (or 22% body fat) and still be able to pass the general fitness standards. Tulane's Lineman do not. 

My personal opinion is that one needs to remember that what separates the Top 20 and the rest of college football is the quality of "big boys".  Absurdly large but mobile and athletic  players are the most scarce recruits. When we are talking about Group of 5 schools, they aren't getting too many of those.  So being undersized to less than stellar big men isn't necessarily as big a disadvantage as it first seems. 

Overall, I think the 3 pronged requirements for Military Academy admission/attendance (Academic, body size, military commitment) absolutely present an additional challenge to attracting the athletes.  No doubts there.  I am simply saying that I would not go as far as to automatically state that those athletes they attract are "the least" when compared to the teams they are competing with and  beating regularly.   I would say certainly that those athletes could be considered "the least" when compared to the top teams in country.  

I would imagine it is an interesting situation, as the academic requirements necessary for the Academies may very well indeed weed out those who refuse to acknowledge the statistical probabilities of making it to the NFL- PARTICULARLY if you are being recruited at an "ECU" level as opposed to an LSU, OSU,etc. level.  

Sidenote for emphasis and context-  When I was coaching NCAA Div 1AA ball, we had upperclassmen who were BACK UPS whose life plan was still to "make it to the NFL".  That is the mindset some of them have.  It made me feel a bit like a failure as a mentor. 

I think the military service might be more of a deterrent for the sake of having to be in the military as opposed it keeping a player from the NFL. 

Umm.. Yes you did. Right here.  You just stated that they could suspend academic requirements, military service requirements, fitness requirements etc. right here.   You just said that they could utilize Pentagon funding that goes elsewhere to pay to recruit the country (they already do by the way.. ) 

Just stop.  Stick to just posting x's and o's because when you try to discuss deeper topics you drown.
