2013 Offseason

[DNMHIII]

Lets get some ideas on how to move through the off-season quickly because it takes way too much time even if you advance every day. Lets talk scheduling and conference changes for the 2013 season.

I think that we should possibly try to do a 2x a day advance. Maybe advance at 7pm EST and again at 10pm EST? That gives people a pretty decent window every night, and then they have basically the whole next day. Obviously we can advance sooner if everyone finishes quickly.

As for conference changes I liked your idea from before. It should definitely have to fit geography and past success as well, so I'd say you must finish top-3 in your conference in addition to the rest of the criteria.

Personally, if I end up being ranked high enough, I'd like to head to the ACC.

I am all about the smaller schools moving to different conferences, but their still needs to be a sense of prestige to the football program with strict rules on how to enter one of these conferences. I would say that finishing first in your conference one year is probably not enough to warrant one access to any AQ conference. Now if you have finished first in your conference three times in a row, made a bcs bowl 3 times in a row, and finished ranked in the top 15 all three years, ok now I would say you have a solid resume to enter a AQ conference. As I said before I am all for this but ground rules need to be laid out and set as to how to go about it. Because if we dont then we will end up with, "ok I want to go here, and he goes here, and he goes here, and now this year I want to go here, and now I want to go here, ect. Also if we are playing sim, ask your self what would a team from a non AQ conference have to do to be invited to a AQ conference in real life?

Maybe Top 25 finish 3 years in a row, Top 3 in your conference for 3 years in a row, and be a 4 star program? I know that would rule everyone out this offseason, but next season, there could be several teams that would qualify. Winning a National Championship would be another situation. I also think if you move conferences, your team needs to stay there for a few seasons - maybe 4 or 5 seasons.

2 times a day would be nice, but have advancing times after when people are off work(site is blocked where I work). It would be nice to have everyone on their ps3 at the same time for a few hours, but I don't see that working either. Weeks 1-3 are the most important. I do still have about 9 guys on my board that need further phone calls to sign in North Texas.

We can try to stick to it if possible.
