Thanks. I appreciate the info, even if my original question was missing some words.

Like many I'm not a fan of games against small schools like this. I understand there is benefit to them for trying stuff out and giving a hopefully good show to the home fans. I guess what I don't see if why not just do them as exhibitions. What really is the difference between this and the Clarion game other than the season has officially started. The argument is often that you need more home games, but the Clarion game was at home and almost invisible on the Drexel Men's basketball webpage. Why not just promote the exhibitions like regular games. Then instead of a secret scrimmage with Albany just make that a home and home series. Then every other year each school gets and extra home game.

It is not like Drexel is the only school doing it though, it seems like more and more schools are doing it and the competition is getting less and less. Maybe I'm just noticing it more since we rarely played these until the end of Bruiser's tenure, but it just seems a little silly to me.
