**Pending what TB will allow us to create** I'm considering doing a database of realistic TeamBuilder creations for all football programs at all levels. This would include all program details as well as named rosters with realistic ratings. We used to do a project like this on here and it was pretty awesome. The first year was the hardest because we all had to start from scratch, but subsequent years we were able to copy/update the existing teams.
The database would only include teams that fit the criteria to keep all the teams on a similar playing field with others at their real life level of play...i.e. UNC Pembroke (Go Braves!) will not be able to compete with Clemson (Go Tigers!) unless you build the team through years in Dynasty (which is my plan).
If we get enough interest, AND it seems realistic based on what we see from TeamBuilder when it is released we can work together to flesh out a ratings scale and moving forward with the project. Just putting feelers out right now for interest.
I started a preliminary Google Sheet to track things, and will likely start a Discord server to have easier communication between those working on the project if we get interest.
If interested, drop a line in here with what teams you're interested in working on if we do this. Don't worry if someone has already posted that they want to work on TEAM A and you also want to do TEAM A, I'm not against listing multiple users' teams for the same school if they fit the criteria. I know I plan to do all the North and South Carolina teams but another user is doing some of them in his work with the CAA, thats cool...his might be better than mine, but I still just like to make them anyway so I have access to change/update things as I see fit.
I also added a tab on the database for non-football schools, still with the fictional rosters they should be rated appropriately...but its fun to get a bit more creative with schools that don't/no longer have football programs.
I also posted this on Reddit since their TB sub seems to be pretty active, so hopefully between there and here we can make a lot of progress on this.
