Agreed. I am going to make moves depending on what happens. Of course I will add the 2012 changes but after that 2012, I will not plan changes. If I notice a team worthy/not worthy of being in "said" conference, Ill make some moves. The only move I am making without actually seeing "sim" gaming is Notre Dame to Big East and Air Force to Independent. Other then that, its all on my dynasty and its simulation.

I think im gonna steal the Great lakes/Great Plains division names from Ben for the Big 10 Conference. I was thinking the Midwest and Northeast.

I'm gonna move TCU and Houston to the Big 12.
Notre Dame to the Big East.

Move Fresno St., Nevada, Hawaii and leave BYU in the Mountain West.
Leave the Pac 12, MAC, ACC, SEC, alone.

Don't know what I'm gonna do about the WAC and CUSA
Thats it for now...

If you want it to be realistic then Arkansas would stay in the SEC, and the Big East would keep it's AQ bid unless it loses Pitt, 'Cuse, West Virginia to the ACC/B10. Or West Virginia to the SEC although that is highly unlikely.

Obviously you can do what ever the hell you want but those are my two cents on trying to keep it realistic.

[DorianDonP]

Why would Arkansas leave the SEC, and that huge TV contract to go to a diluted Big 12 that doesn't even have Texas?

Without creating a new thread can someone answer these simple questions? Will you be able to create OFFLINE teams and be able to add them into a conference without taking the place of another school? Like if I wanted Texas Southern University in with the Sun Belt? And if so, how many teams can you create in all in a dynasty?

No, the game will only be able to hold 120 teams in a dynasty at once.
