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.

LOL, being from Iowa, the Briar Cliff thing clicked my memory. My college, an NAIA II school, played Briar Cliff annually. It was the equivalent of Iowa State playing Briar Cliff. I say lose-lose because it does nothing if they win; but if they lose all hell breaks loose. Personally, I'm not sure I'd think the experience was worth the risk as an AD. It's like Nebraska scheduling Walkover State for a nice September football game; but with more risk.
You're right about the talent level.
