ESPN did a story on Longwood. Apparently, they're a school in Virginia that wants to raise their profile and see their way to do that through D1 sports. So, they're playing a bunch of D1 teams in the hopes of getting trounced and then, getting into the Big South Conference.
If nothing else, it's great for the kids. They play in front of a ton of fans, travel the country and for a bit, get to see what it's like on the big stage. Plus, they open the door for future generations who'll come there and get smacked down too.
It's all good, though I don't see what's so terrible about being DII and good, rather than D1 and horrible. Eh, stupid universities.
