What's up with that?

Does it really matter? It wont count officially anyhow so whether it is called an exhibition or an actual game, it doesn't matter. I know Drexel has these games too (Arcadia this season) but I wish all of our schools would stop scheduling games that have zero benefit. Playing lower division teams does nothing to excite a fan base or even give the players real game experience, it is merely players going through the motion (win or loss)

Ohhhhhh, but if we were to lose and IF it was one of those seasons where we are a bubble team it would absolutely "unofficially" be counted against us.

Also, that same "lower level schools" mentality you're displaying is what causes P5s to stay away from good Mids. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Which one would you prefer? I would prefer a mix, where we can play DII's/DIII's and P5's. Also, McGrath was in a pinch trying to get this year's schedule in place when he was hired last spring.

I hate this trend toward scheduling Non-DI schools also (with the obvious exception of Claflin), but isn't this game part of the Savannah Tournament deal?

Somehow it is. Valpo, Loyola and Kent St each get to host 2 of the 3 D1 team's in the "visitors bracket" (Samford, Mississippi Valley St, and SE Louisiana) while we get to host 1 Non D1 team. So don't quite understand that one.
