Maybe retarded, but absolutely happened. Ole Miss was assigned Arkansas as a conference game a number of years. Didn't mean Arkansas was in the SEC at the time, just that they counted as a conference game for Ole Miss.

Football was not the big business it is now. They did what they had to to equal the schedule. This practice has happened recently in some of the smaller conference, though. They do what they can.
Right or wrong, it's fact. That's how they did it.

All of this nonsense, instead of just playing a school ACTUALLY IN the conference?
I don't even...
