In a statement Sunday night, the Military Academy -- commonly known as West Point -- said its investigation is looking into the "use of hand gestures by a few Cadets" during the broadcast before Saturday's game. "The United States Military Academy is fully committed to developing leaders of character who embody the Army Values. Alana Garas, a Naval Academy spokeswoman, said in a statement earlier Sunday that "U.S. Naval Academy officials have appointed a preliminary inquiry officer to conduct an internal investigation into the hand gestures made during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast prior to yesterday's Army-Navy game." Both academies said the investigations into the gestures will determine whether any actions will be taken against the cadets and midshipmen.
