Each College (or group) may be used twice, with like schools (or groups) in different Conferences. Alignment as geographical as possible. with the exception that owners with 2 teams will have their teams in separate Conferences.

The cap seems really low. I mean, even open leagues have 42 plus about 5 million in rookies. Can you actually get enough minutes and still have good teams?

If the cap would be raised a bit, I would be in for sure.
The cap is intentionally kept low to help as many schools as possible compete. The last 2 seasons have definitely been $44 million, and yet bigger schools have prevailed, so this version has been lowered to $43 million. Hope you'll reconsider, as this is done to promote competition, and regular seasons are always a dog-fight. We all know the schools who can put together the best All-Star teams - this League isn't for that. There are a couple teams entered. Guess how "good" they are depends on how good their owner was at putting them together compared to other owners..

I didn't realize how restrictive $43M would be.  Going to force some different choices than have seen in that past.  Also means I will never settle on a squad.

At $43 million, every team is going to have a few "shortcomings". That's the idea. Puts more schools in a position to be competitive.

I can't use Clemson.  All bigs, no usage.  Just not feasible in this league.

I will take Texas Longhorns instead.  Plus this will be easier putting my teams in separate conferences.

I've got a question for y'all, think 19000 min is enough minutes for this cap?

I don't think so...you are better with lesser players at 100% then running down solid players all season long.

I think that greatly depends on how much "lesser". 19,000 is about 97% of the 19,600 scheduled minutes, so a "better" player at 97% may still perform better than a lesser player (IMO).

Come on Ben. That's what makes this league such a challenge, never had a problem building a team. Just all teams have weaknesses is this league
