Nine open spots for new owners! Reserve a spot now for Alums II. Open selection for schools (all owners without a keeper school designated) will begin Wednesday March 11th at 6pm ET in this forum.


League rules/details:

You select 1 college or university that is exclusive to you! Everyone on your roster from the same school using their NFL seasons in whatif. First come, first serve on selecting your school. Once a school is picked- they are off the selection board completely. Only 1 Notre Dame, or 1 Michigan, or 1 of any school. 70 mil cap. No clones- this means one person for one position on your roster and not serving a dual role as one of your 5 school representatives listed below. No Ohtani basically- Eric Metcalf can't be a WR and your ST rep for Texas. Same thing for Rocket Ismail or Desmond Howard or Charles Woodson or Deion Sanders. We will allow 2 teams per owner in the interest of getting to 24 teams and filling the league.

You only need 1 player from your school to qualify for your OLine, DEF or Special Teams eligiblity (3 total). Your Offense Lineman representative must a Center, Guard or Tackle from your school on a past NFL roster- Not a TE (as they are exclusive from OL in the whatif format).
Example:
Florida State: OT Tra Thomas- 2002 Philadelphia Eagles OL.
LB Derrick Brooks- 2002 Tampa Bay Bucs DEF.
PR/KR Deion Sanders- 1997 Dallas Cowboys Special Teams.

***
And the player belongs to the school they finished with in their last year of college eligibility. QB Joe Burrow is LSU (Not Ohio St). QB Troy Aikman is UCLA (not Oklahoma).

5 representatives example to be posted for your school selection:

University of Georgia. (Specific team and years listed here to help clarify the example, but do NOT post the team or year you will use in the forum. You just need to ensure the unit matches the year the player was on that team.)
OL- David Andrews (center- 2016 New England Patriots)
DEF- LB Thomas Davis Sr. (2015 Carolina Panthers DEF)
ST- KR/PR Mecole Hardman (2019 KC Chiefs)
K- Kevin Butler
P- Jake Camarda

****You must use the representatives for your school for all positions if they are available. Should you not have an NFL kicker or punter that played at your school, you may select a K or P that is NOT from another school within the league. This IS the only roster exception at the K and P position.****

If you have kicker(s) or punter(s) at your school, you must use them if they are in the WIS pool of kickers and punters to choose from.

When completed, please post your 5 school reps in this forum, you will see examples from claimed teams. Please make note if your school has no options for the kicker or punter, then list who you selected and their school. This saves everyone from disputing it and its an easy cross-check for eligibility. No combo deals either. I will cross-check the roster and sitemail you if specific edits need to be made.

Examples:

kicker(s) available but no punter. Use your kicker and find a punter NOT from another school within the league.

punter(s) available but no kicker. Use your punter and find a kicker NOT from another school within the league.

Both kicker(s) and Punter(s) available. You use what is available from your school.

We will use pro-football-reference.com as the official source for college and NFL team eligibility wrt individual positions, DEF, OL and ST (for the player from your school). The following link is a great starting point to see a list of schools and links to your schools NFL stats:

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/schools/

When navigating pro reference- Please note that you must have very top toolbar with Football(college) highlighted in order for it to pull any of the subject data. Sometimes you also have to click on college again to reset it each time. In the search tab, Type in and click on your school, Then find the NFL/AFL player link in the middle of the page, then you can go Players Pro Stats as well. The alumni players on your roster do NOT need to be drafted to be eligible. If they made the NFL team after being undrafted AND appear in whatif- they are eligible for your roster. You can also click on "Colleges Index" for a listing of all schools with notable NFL records for each school.

Today (Wednesday) at 6pm ET, we are open for school selections. First post is awarded the selection if we have people wanting the same school. No 558 or 559pm ET timestamp will be legitimate.

Please post in this forum to claim your school. 9 spots are available for new owners. This window is open until this Sunday at 1159pm ET.

The founding owners have a guaranteed spot, but those returning owners without a keeper school may be claiming early as well.

Added the final 4 school drops to the list in the first post. Those schools were neither claimed as a keeper or dropped by the final deadline.

*****League rules/details have been added to the opening post above-- just below the keeper no keeper list. Saves anyone new from having to jump back to the classifieds forum.
