Non D-1 games

I don't like non-D1 games, not at all. However, they do have their point, IF they involve in-state teams. If you are essentially buying a win, it is reportedly much cheaper to buy a non-D1 win. So, at a level where money does not grow on trees, that is a factor. However, if the opponent should get hot and beat you, it is significantly less embarrassing to get beat by a D-1 team, even if it is a bottom feeder, than one not D1.
