Hoops dynasty is way better than Gridirion. DePaul and Marquette playing 1-A football? GID is pretty lame in it's mild attempt at realism.

OK, hold up - there's no longer a coach at Grambling State in Knight.  I just ran the search again:

Grambling State
Naismith - SIM
Wooden - SIM
Rupp - SIM
Smith - SIM
Iba - SIM
Allen - SIM
Crum - SIM
Tark - SIM
Knight - SIM
Phelan - SIM

Morris Brown
Naismith - SIM
Wooden - hughesjr
Rupp - SIM
Smith - SIM
Iba - SIM
Allen - SIM
Crum - SIM
Tark - SIM
Knight - SIM
Phelan - SIM

I just sent the following sitemail to hughesjr:

Hughes,

Morris Brown in real life doesn't have sports any more.

St. Mary's of CA is having a good deal of success in the real-life WCC.

and Grambling State is in the SWAC in real life, but is in the WCC (California and Oregon) instead of the MEAC (Eastern and Southern historically black colleges) in HD.



My point?  Rebranding Morris Brown as St. Mary's and switching it with Grambling State - would put Grambling and St. Mary's in the right(er) conferences while getting rid of no-longer-has-sports Morris Brown.

And the switch would only affect one coach - you.

That's right, Grambling State is vacant in every world, and you're the only person coaching at Morris Brown. 



So my question is - would you have any objection to either of the following proposals?

a) You move to the WCC with no loyalty or rep hit, keeping all of your players and prestige, receiving a boost in baseline prestige from D to C, and your school is renamed/branded St. Mary's (CA) and located in Moraga, CA (Bay Area).

OR b) You stay in the conference you're in with no loyalty or rep hit, keeping all of your players and prestige, with your baseline prestige staying the same, but your school is renamed/branded Grambling State and moved from Atlanta to Grambling, in northern Louisiana.


Is either of these acceptable to you?


Thanks,
corn

Hughes would be OK with either, so I sent a ticket.

Again, the move I want is:
1) Grambling State renamed St. Mary's (CA), relocated to Moraga, CA, and given a C baseline (currently D+).  Colors are deep red and navy blue.
2) Morris Brown renamed Grambling State, relocated to Grambling, LA, and given a D baseline (currently D).  Colors are black and gold.
3) Hughesjr keeps his players in Wooden world and stays in the MEAC - now at "Grambling State" and at a different physical location, but with the same prestige (and same baseline) and no rep/loyalty hit.
4) All Grambling State records are now St. Mary's's, all Morris Brown records are now Grambling State's.


If you think this is a good move, please send a ticket with that text.

Initial response from CS has been negative, but I'm going to push on this one.  There's no reason for this to be put in the same category as "nebraska should be in the big 10 hurrr".

It's a great idea...I hope WIS follows through on it

Do me a favor and send a ticket?

I like the idea but I don't know how to send a ticket.

Under Main go to Contact Us, and the click Knowledge Base. There should be something there that says Submit Ticket.

Careful, though...after you've typed your message and think you're done, you have to click to the next page in order to send the ticket

Seeend tiiiickets.  We can do this.

This is a nice idea, and with hughes' sign-off ... why not?

Ticket sent.  I will let you know when I receive the generic "Thanks for your suggestion, they are monitored monthly" response that I also got for my EE suggestions.

Bump.

Cornfused had everything set for a harmless switch... wonder why HD didn't ok it?

Based on Admin feedback from very early stages of the game: Once a human has coached a team, there are multiple levels of program + player history that become difficult to simply swap around.
