Gathering some feedback for a college football game

[GoldenCrest Games]

I'm starting to plan out a college football game for a future project, The Iverson Project, and I need some input.

What I know so far:

• The game will be similar in style to Desktop Dynasties. 8 and/or 9 man football, in a tabletop style.
• Heavy emphasis on the practice field. (get it? the "Iverson" project? ) Player development, playbook development, and school development will be a big deal.
• More play types and player roles. (the option, jet sweeps, read option, dummy routes)
• Multiple divisions/leagues to mirror how the NCAA does it.
• Some form of player scout management. Scouting will be a game of managing tradeoffs.
• Some form of recruiting management

What I don't know, and need some feedback on:

• What is fun, and what do you find tedious, about recruiting?
• Would you be upset if I had zero scouting uncertainty? (all scouting is 100% accurate, it just might not be complete)
• What about off-field issues? Should that be included? Would that just take away from the fun?
• Should academics be included as something to manage?
• What other features absolutely need to be in a college game?

It's been a while since I was obsessed with college games, so I want to make sure I haven't forgotten anything obvious or critical.

Thanks!
