I'm almost certain that this is exactly what we did last year.

It was.

What are you thinking? Maybe give one player who we include their NBA career? Maybe a guy who was expected to or would've come to UK? One guy from a rival?

I think we will have a mess if we include other teams players whether that could have ended up at UK or not./ I vote for actual UK players only. Now, if we include their Pro career also, I'm fine with that.

What if we worked out some kind of salary cap feature? Maybe we assign a specific cost to each player and limit each participant to a total amount to be spent on his/her total roster?

Sounds workable, but could be time consuming.

Right now, all we've got is time.

True.

I love that salary cap idea actually. I think we should do that...but it's a lot of work to think about how to do it.

Would be great to use some kind of simulated program plugging in stats and attributes to determine a clear cut winner for not only player options,but coaching styles too...


If its about the vote, better have friends and start campaigning now. ...

By all means, call your development team and have them get started.

I think we'd want to start with tiers - if, say we have $100 total, then AD and Issel might be in the $40 tier (or higher?) - then we can talk about specific dollar amounts per player, if needed. I'd be okay with getting a spreadsheet started if need be.

Whatifsports.com is a good place to start. Ncaa section, pick your players, pick your opponent, let the stats decide it..

[teamchemistry15]

If we do a salary cap we are talking 150 players. If you guys want to discuss each one and set a price on them just let me know when you're finished.

[Joneslab]

Most of the players could have similar dollar amounts, as Downes is saying.

Could be something like: "Player played in the NBA--$10." And if yout cap is $50 (or whatever) you might only get one of those players.

Regardless of whether we do that or something else, I definitely think there should be a way to separate this year from what we did last year. There might be other wrinkles to think about...like you have to have somebody on your roster from every era beginning with Rupp or something.

That's actually not a bad idea. One player from every coach.

If you guys do want to do the salary cap thing, let's come up with some criteria throughout the day, then I'll get started on the rankings/cost tiers.

If not, no biggie.
