Gang, I'm moving so I'm giving up the following established teams in three worlds so that I'm not ghostshipping them while in transit and getting set up in a new locale. All are in full/mostly full conferences with great crops of coaches so I'm hoping someone will step to the plate and build on what I'll leave in place:
Allen -- Cal. St. San Bernardino (D2)....triangle/man...you'll play in a conference with 9 other human coached teams, two of whom played each other in last night's Final Four and another who made the Elite Eight before dropping out. Team currently has a B+ prestige and, after going 3 rounds deep into the PIT, probably will remain there when the world rolls over tonight. Classes are currently balanced at 3-3-3-3, so you'll have 3 scholarships to fill, a ton of postseason bonus cash and pretty much every LA-area recruit you could ever want within your 70-mile circle. See what's coming back

Iba -- Hanover (D3)...motion/man...Going out on a high note as Hanover won its first conference title in 47 seasons and is currently 20-6 entering the conference tournament. Nine other humans in the league, including your chance to match wits with the HD legend alblack56. I won't lie...I had a bad recruiting cycle a couple years back, so of the three teams this is the one that probably needs the most help. That said, the cupboard isn't bare and you'll have 4 scholarships to fill in recruiting. Roster can be seen
here.
Rupp -- W. New England (D3)...motion/press...It'll be a while before this one frees up as we're only at the midway point of the non-conference season, but I'll announce it now anyhow. Your chance to play in probably the most active and one of the most challenging D3 worlds out there (I haven't played in Wooden, so I can't draw comparisons, but it certainly isn't for the faint of heart). Great banter thread for D3 in the Rupp forum each season with lots of regular contributors. The team is currently ranked No. 25 and will be returning all but 2 players to the roster next season (although you're free to wield the axe). The New England region is a meat grinder to recruit in, so you'll probably get to know your fellow coaches by tripping over them on the blue chip trail. Nine other human coaches in a league once renowned for being the Evil Empire and now trying to steal the title back. Roster available
here.
I might also have to drop my D2 team in Naismith (Missouri St. Louis), but I'm being stubborn for now as that's my original HD world. Will update the thread if that turnos out to be untenable.
Not leaving the game -- just need to step away and allow my life to reset in new surroundings before I wander back in a couple seasons/months. Don't want to see the guys in these great conferences get saddled with the Sim AI anchor on any of these programs.
