Whoa! I think the beta is worse than the regular game, just not bad enough to make everyone leave! You haven't been on the forums in a while, only, cause I have changed my stance. Please don't put me in the same category as a coach who had a tread started that consisted of the phrase "@#$% you CoachSpud" 15 times.

too late you will forever be associated with being a twit no matter how hard you reverse trend unfortunately.

viva, you'll eat your words when the glorious Spudball era is upon us, and D3 teams get invited to the D1 tournament because D3 and D1 should be the same.

god damn it why not just make D3 the new D1 and get rid of the school names, let people name their schools things like the Atlanta Gay Pirates and let everyone adjust their player ratings so we can all have fun!. Oh and make it a best of 6 game series for the title and give trophies to all coaches for their participation!

During the last NBA draft in Phelan there were 29 underclassmen taken. Assuming they eliminate the early entries, the mid majors still get left out of the elite talent. It's an advantage for the A/A-/B+ teams, midmajors still could get slightly better players, because of the players the A/A-/B+ teams normally get will fall to the B/B-/C+ teams and so on. Only way the midmajors can compete for these extra 29 players is if the prestige gap is narrowed. I don't have a problem with how prestige works, but some of the elite players might be "too elite" and could be scaled down a bit.

After thinking over the whole scenario, assuming they don't close the prestige gap, it would appear the major teams that get to keep the EE's would have the advantage. Think of an A+ prestige team getting to keep 3-4 All American seniors that would've normally declared early for the draft. The midmajors would stand less of a chance.

yes but talent drops down, maybe not to midmajors fully, but to non power schools who are able to bring in more recruits because the heavy EE teams cannot continuously recruit them because they don't have so many openings.

The power schools aren't losing/gaining talent because they would have the same talent as before just more upperclassmen. they would've just recruited the next 3-4 All americans that would've been EE's so they get better but not as much better as non power "power" schools and midmajors

It would also depend on population the less coaches the better it is for mid/non majors to become close to power conference stength

FYI - there is NO MORE post season cash anymore. The gap between Big 6 and everyone else is not that large ANYMORE.

That's a fair point. It's hard to weigh the advantages and disadvantages at this stage, not knowing what seble is going to do, in regards to the prestige gap, which will play a huge role. I hope he still isn't considering about the luck factor in getting a recruit.

I voted for 2 signing periods, EE declare early...mainly because I know there's no way sable will go for 1 signing period so it seemed silly to put a vote there.

oh yes we followed US politics into voting for the lesser of evils!!!!!

There will be enough Postseason Invitations so that every school goes to one of them, Ward will be very happy!
