I would not say it was a lose-lose unless you win. It is usually a great way to play a game and get some reps for your team. But this has happen more than a few times. Players across the country are just getting better. And there is always a player or two on these teams that could play at the D1 level if they got the right hype or went to the right school. I think Northwestern got beat a few years ago by a local area D3 school a couple of seasons ago. I just do not have the interest to look up for the actual school.
