So, one team could play an exhibition game while the other team is playing a real game???!!! That is CRAZY . . .
That has happened on a number of occasions. For example, Army some years ago played an official game vs Vassar - but for Vassar it was an exhibition.
Another example - although it wasn't really disclosed at the time -was when Bucknell hosted the Legends Classic in November of 2011. West Alabama, a D2 school that had been pressed into service when the Gazelle Group couldn't find enough teams, played three games in Sojka. Their first two were official games that counted on their W-L record - but their final game, vs Princeton, went into West Alabama's record book as an exhibition. Princeton, however, counted it as a regular game and didn't even note that it was only an exhibition game for their opponent. I believe that West Alabama had to treat it as an exhibition because otherwise they would have exceeded the NCAA limit for regular season games.
