ESPN did a piece the other day about the men who participate in the practice squads for womens' college teams. Pat Summit summed it up well, (paraphrase) "We play them because they're better than we are." Note, these are guys who don't get scholarships, don't get money, can't travel with the team. All they get out of it is excercise and competition. Why is that relevant, because they guys that have much talent are playing on scholarship somewhere. The best college women basketball players in the world are playing against guys who couldn't make a D3 team (generalization alert); and they're still getting beat in practice. (I make that assumption based on the fact that it wasn't addressed in the television segment.)
