[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 911793, member: 2299"] It makes sense if you think of it less as a game being an exhibition and more of teams claiming a game is an exhibition. Games in some circumstances have to be exhibitions or else they violate rules. Other times, like our game against Clayton one team might still be able to claim it as an exhibition and have a reason to (for instance allowing them t o schedule another OOC game at their level). There are some potential theoretical problems but I don't think they are problems in reality. It seems like you could have a situation where GT could schedule Kansas with Kansas claiming it's an exhibition and not counting while GT does and have Kansas throw the game to help GT's resume without hurting Kansas' but I believe the only reason Clayton could claim it as an exhibition was because we are non D2. Beyond that, in practice I don't think any major program would do that for any number of reasons that everyone should be able to think of. The second, and imo more realistic worry, is that Clayton would use it as a game to just mess around and not take it seriously. I don't think this makes sense from their perspective at all, but even if they wanted to, that would be a great way to get no bigger school to want to schedule you, for an exhibition or otherwise. It simply isn't worth it. I really think the entire exhibition thing is just that the game doesn't count against the total number of games they are allowed to play. [/QUOTE]
