So what's the verdict?

So what's the verdict?

Not exactly sure which issue this addresses. If it's the players for the US and Foreign HS-only teams, that's posted on the prior page. If it's "what is small school", if I have to say now, it's any school (at any level) with 12 or less players listed.

No. Just wondering what the final details for the league are. I'll be in whatever you decide all3.

Comments / suggestions welcome, but here's what I'm thinking:

After selecting a College, you may add 1 "small school" player (from a school with 12 or less NBA players according to the link), using a season where their salary is under $6,000,000. You may also add a "filler" player, with a salary under $600,000. To try to keep the court level, the 8 Colleges (UCLA, Kentucky, North Carolina, Indiana, Duke, Louisville, Connecticut, and Kansas) that have won 3 or more NCAA Championships may only add the $600,000 filler. All USA-born or all Foreign-born non-college (as listed in the link) players may also be used as a team. Each College may be used twice, with like schools in different Conferences. Alignment as geographical as possible. $44 million cap, no WW, Clones or Rookies.

Do you have the results from last year?

I never save anything from year-to-year, but below is the description of last year's version, along with the Finals result.

For the last several years, we have done an Alumni League that we try to coincide with March Madness. We have used a different theme every year. This year's theme is: After selecting a College, you may add 1 US and 1 non-US born player who never attended a US College (according to the link), using a season where their salaries are under $6,000,000. You may also add any 2 "filler" players, with salaries under $600,000. To try to keep the court level, the 8 Colleges (UCLA, Kentucky, North Carolina, Indiana, Duke, Louisville, Connecticut, and Kansas) that have won 3 or more NCAA Championships may only add the US OR the non-US player, and only 1 of the fillers. Each College may be used twice, with like schools in different Conferences. Alignment as geographical as possible. $44 million cap, no WW, Clones or Rookies.

Do you think the recruited player being under $6m is too restrictive? IMO there should not be a salary restriction.

A salary limit on the "add"(s) has always been in place, as the idea of an Alumni League is for the players from that school to be the "main men" on the team. I would think even "superstars" from small schools have at least one season under $6,000,000 that could be used to make them a complimentary player.

I'm in if this ever fills

I'm still planning to post the League in the Theme League Forum the 1st or 2nd day of the New Year. When I do, I'll also site-mail everyone who has posted in this thread.

Sorry everyone: busy couple of days. I'll make sure to get done this weekend.

League is now posted in the Theme League Forum.
