I do think it is good preparation if you want to play pro. My son told me that he didn't tell me how bad it was because he was going to "embrace the suck". That said, as a covid era parent, sometimes you just want them to catch a break. The games were great in Northwoods. Great stadium, fans, etc., and they streamed all games which I very much appreciated. We were looking forward to the cape this year, but alas, surgery. My only point was that if a kid was just there for numbers, he probably did need to be focused on that, and not "team" (with guys he didn't know) to get noticed and picked up from the bloated portal.
