As a dynasty school, I think it makes Stanford, Vanderbilt or the military academies even more interesting if you only take recruits who have above average interest in academics or higher. Now that will limit you and make recruiting a tougher task. You may be forced to fill your roster with walk-ons.

I'm guessing Stanford has a fairly highly rated (in the video game) QB already on the existing roster (regardless of how well he actually plays in real life), given how Stanford has recruited in real life lately, so maybe you aren't replacing Luck in your first few recruiting classes.

I look for several things in a dynasty. The challenge of building a team is primary. I prefer taking weak teams in power conferences, but have taken on teams in mid-majors and moved them into power conferences down the road. I look at the stadium - is it a setting I want to see for the next video gaming year? Are the uniforms appealing? Do they have interesting rivalries? In the Big Ten, there are some great trophy rivalries.

All things to think about.
