Starting with 25-26, schools are now allowed to play 2 exhibition games against any 4 year school regardless of division and they can be public with scores kept.

This ends 'secret' scrimmages and makes having exhibition games against other DI schools legal.

Would be awesome to get H/H exhibitions with some bigger name schools. I know we've historically done a scrimmage with Wisconsin. That'd be a fun one at home.

I agree, but wouldn’t the math probably work the same for a scrimmage as a home game? Home team makes revenue, etc? If so, what incentive does Wisconsin have to come to Cedar Falls, as an example?

It's probably unrealistic, but would be neat if it played out that way. I think it opens the door more for bigger name schools because it doesn't affect record, but like you said, I doubt it'd probably happen because of revenue.

I remember hosting Wisconsin when I was in school, we beat them and I doubt they have been back since. Of course we were still playing in the done, but it was still fun

Coupling the trip to Irvine with the Montana game.
