Update to Playmakers1970 All time roster with Addl "merged" teams of past greats

[hurtstown70]

I posted an update to Playmakers1970 All time great rosters, but I had an additional project where I included all of the all time great players from smaller schools not included. Due to the amount of work and lack of scouting knowledge, I focused only on known legends and players that played in NFL. If they were great and not on one of the majors schools added, they will be on a "merged" team, teams that include greats from many small colleges. As I mentioned in previous post, I did this for myself, so I really am not interested in changing the roster. If you dont agree with a rating, a player or team...you can go ahead and update. I only want to share the work I did, and it was about 10 months of research and entry. This is for XBOX 360

I updated next next teams to include schools that were already completed, but slim rosters in regards to talent. (tean that houses roster in parenthesis)

UNLV HI (UNLV)- combined roster to include players from Hawaii and UNLV. One of the last rosters I put together, so not a real fit, but a fit for NCAA History.

Vandy/Memphis (Vanderbilt)- Two major teams from Tennessee, combined with players from Vanderbilt and Memphis
