Virtually no one noticed, but the Big Ten started calling the Power 5 the Autonomy 5 literally today, so I'd wager 5-10 years.

I don't see why they don't just make one with completely randomized players. I can't remember the last time I played an NCAA video game and didn't just make a version of a school as lovely as humanly possible in order to build them into an unstoppable powerhouse.

I said this when they first said they were dropping the NCAA franchise, that they should just take the states of players at any given position and pull a random weight, height, race, and position numbers. I don't see how that would have caused any sort of a problem. Maybe during a franchise game you can make a custom roster or whatever and name your players, but in general, random man. Random.

Well the judge granted a stay for the NCAA today so the paying players part is on hold for a bit until whenever the appeals court decides on the full case.

i made my team a feeder team for madden drafts so basically the university of arkansas didn't lose a game of football from like 2008 to 2039 and routinely won the national championship by like 80 points

they were also independent so i could set their whole schedule so i alternated between making my schedule the rest of the top 12 besides me or also scheduling the shittiest dregs 1-AA offers

It's August and football is nearly here, so I'm back from my hibernation to take part in the festivities. It's been a grueling summer with work. There's a rumor in my trade that a 90 day job is looming in September, so my football season may be a little hosed up. Que sera, sera.

Vols, bitch! I don't want this hype to be for naught, but I'm accustomed to disappointment in Tennessee football.
