(If I may mix metaphors.) Penn State is an excellent D I football school and Indiana University of Pennsylvania is a good D II (or whatever the smaller schools are called these days) football program, but would you compare them to each other? I wouldn't. They're good for what they are. Personally, I'd rather watch Penn State compete for an ACHA title every year than see them get hammered in the D I arena over and over. But, that's just me.
