The United States Naval Academy sponsors 30 varsity-sports teams and 12 club-sports teams (along with 19 intramural-sports teams).〔("Wesley Brown Field House" Facts sheet ). USNA Public Affairs Office. Athletics Department webpage (Naval Academy Varsity Athletics official website). Retrieved 2010-02-09.〕〔(Club /Intramural Sports Programs ). Naval Academy Varsity Athletics official website. Retrieved 2010-02-10.〕 Both men's and women's teams are called Navy Midshipmen or "Mids".〔The term "Middie" is not appropriate. (Traditions: U.S. Naval Academy Facts, Figures and History ) (at "Nickname"). Naval Academy Varsity Athletics official website. Retrieved 2010-02-14.〕 They participate in the NCAA's Division I, as a non-football member of the Patriot League, a football-only member of the American Athletic Conference in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), and a member of the Collegiate Sprint Football League (men), Eastern Association of Rowing Colleges (men), Eastern Association of Women's Rowing Colleges, Eastern Intercollegiate Gymnastics League (men), and Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association. Navy is also one of approximately 300 members of the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC). The most important sporting event at the academy is the annual Army–Navy Game. The 2014 season marked Navy's 13th consecutive victory over Army. The three major service academies (Navy, Air Force, and Army) compete for the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy, which is awarded to the academy that defeats the others in football that year (or retained by the previous winner in the event of a three-way tie). Participation in athletics is, in general, mandatory at the Naval Academy and most Midshipmen not on an intercollegiate team must participate actively in intramural or club sports. There are exceptions for non-athletic Brigade Support Activities such as YP Squadron (a professional surface warfare training activity providing midshipmen the opportunity to earn the Craftmaster Badge) or the Drum and Bugle Corps. Varsity-letter winners wear a specially-issued blue cardigan with a large gold "N" patch affixed. If they belong to a team that beats Army in any sport designated "Star" competition, they are also awarded a gold star ("N-Star") to affix near the "N" for each such victory.〔(Traditions: U.S. Naval Academy Facts, Figures and History ) (at "N-Star").
