It's either 0, 1, or 2; so its hard to imagine a school doing a bunch of them.
Nay, I favor at-least on exhibition. The exhibitions still of substantial and necessary merit. With a roster full of first and second year players, and those returning from redshirt seasons, the opportunity to play in an actual game in the arena, under lights, etc., still impacts positively.
I don't believe for a moment that a secret scrimmage in a third party location, is anything like resembling a live game at UD Arena. No doubt that the interactions between players and coaches, players and officials, and especially coaches and officials, are reasonably to substantially different. The sounds and feel would have to be greatly different. Some things you cannot replicate in a practice style setting.
