Everyone involved knows they’re just an insignificant exhibition game, so you end up seeing some wild games.

But to the point, what stinks is that the smaller conferences will go along with just about any expansion plan because there will be more 16 vs 16 games - and the winner’s share for that is the same as an acc team crushing a 16 seed in the first round (wink wink). That amount of money is a HUGE deal for the HBCU’s and low majors.
