PROCESS(edited)
Each owner will have two universities in which he/she has exclusivity ownership of those players.  For example if I selected Texas, I would be the only owner eligible to draft Kevin Durant and any other former Longhorn.   If there are any disputes, the college listed on each player's basketball reference page will determine where that player actually attended college. 

example: www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/duranke01.html

So obviously, the strategy is clear---do you choose a university with that one stud that you really want or do you choose a powerhouse with many good players that you have exclusivity in?  This will be the fascinating part of this league in my opinion.

The two-round selection process for those two universities is as follows:
Round 1: First-come first-served----when signing up on this thread, select your first university.   If your top choice has already been taken, then choose another university.

Round 2: Reverse draft----the 24th owner to sign up will have first choice in round 2.   This portion of the draft will take two days----12 picks per day.

I will wait until ten owners that have signed up before I will claim a university.

Since this is the Collegiate Basketball League, NO PLAYERS WHO WENT STRAIGHT TO THE NBA AND NO FOREIGN-DRAFTED PLAYERS ARE ALLOWED.   For example, no LeBron, no Moses Malone, no Dirk Nowitzki or Yao Ming.   Now if a foreigner attended a U.S. university, then he may be used.   For example, Detlef Schrempf went to the University of Washington so he can be chosen.     

TEAM NAMES MUST INCLUDE BOTH UNIVERSITIES --- Example: Texas/Washington

You must use at least TWO players from each university you choose.  These players do not have to be starters, but must be a members of your roster.   The other eight players can come from any university that is NOT selected by one of the 24 owners.

If there are questions about rules, etc, please let me know.  

FYI --- this is a pretty good webpage--- www.databasebasketball.com/players/playerbycollege.htm  Whether its 100% accurate or not I don't know.  Again, we will go by the basketball reference page if there are problems.

Do I understand correctly that all 12 players must be from the universities chosen ?

I modified something in the rules with the approval of sappy since he signed up before I modified them....you get to pick two players from each of your two universities..then eight more from any alma mater, as long as they don't come from one of the 48 selected schools

Now if you want to choose more than 2 from your universities, that's fine too---they are yours to use as you want

EXAMPLE
I pick Oklahoma and Texas

I can pick, say, Alvan Adams and Wayman Tisdale(OU alumni) and T.J. Ford and Kevin Durant(Texas exes)...I can then pick any eight players as long as they don't come from schools that were picked in the 48 team selection process

Now since sappy picked UNC he will be the only owner allowed to pick any former Tar Heel---- and he must choose at least two of them

in  kansas

UCLA

I ran a league like this before and you really need to blacklist UCLA, UNC and Kansas.  If you do that I'll be in if not I won't.  They are too stacked.  And you may want to consider reducing the cap down to like $47m

Thanks for the suggestions eleibowitz...if the league doesn't get some more ownership going in the next 48 hours I'll re-start with your suggestions

can I change mine to high school? lol
