Blowing out the rent-a-win teams are (in most cases) the only way to get a lot of young players some meaningful game reps. It would be really dumb to get rid of that opportunity.
Not to mention those games are what keep the lights on at these small schools’ athletic departments.
The only negative is the risk to injury for starters. All the more reason to play the freshmen.

All of this, and the opportunity to get cheap tickets for the family and take little kids to, to keep the tradition going. Got some UGA-Kent State tickets for Saturday for the little one and me, and cheap enough for me to give one to an old friend to join us. Nice relaxed family-friendly football atmosphere. Having one or two of these a season is great.
