Good read, I am enjoying it.

Thanks for the question, and sorry if I didn't make that clear. Davis' restriction was that there could be no Northern influence, either by birth or by training, so the ONLY players who were BOTH born in the allowed Southern states AND played college ball in the allowed Southern states could be on the roster.
This was the real challenge of this dynasty. It would have been too easy to see success with either Southern collegiates or Southern born, especially as the South is such a hotbed of football talent. Thus the restriction that they be BOTH. To my surprise, this became even more difficult as the seasons wore on, because apparently the FOF engine generates players with random birth towns and random colleges. As you play later seasons, a player's hometown seems to have no correlation to his college. In the real player file, a lot of Alabama boys play for the Crimson Tide; as the FOF engine creates players, those Alabama boys play for Notre Dame and Boise State.
