If you guys want in, this might be a good thread to talk among yourselves and elect a GM.

I'm in.

Believe in the Cow.

I vote Kittonhead as GM just for the madness.

I'm interested in picking for the MAC.

We need to know your platform. LOL

A heads up that the rules have been tweaked to look more like an expansion draft:

Quote:The Rules:
- Conferences pick in reverse order of last year's conference Sagarin ratings
- Conferences first declare 5 teams protected. Those teams are the initial 5 that the conference starts with. All non-protected teams then become "free agents."
- Conferences use the 7 rounds of the draft to accumulate 12 teams total. If for any reason a conference has less than 12 teams at the conclusion of the 7 rounds, they are granted as many immediate compensatory draft picks as is necessary to reach 12.
- Conferences can pick a "free agent" team of peer status or lower (P5 -> G5 -> FCS)
- Conferences can negotiate trades for both teams and picks or a combination of the two though I as commissioner must agree to them to make sure we have no shenanigans going on to empty out conferences

Accordingly, top priority along with selecting a GM should be selection of the five protected schools in each conference.

I nominate MajorHoople

I think if I were you guys I'd protect NIU, Toledo, Ohio, WMU, and BGSU. Admittedly that's 100% based upon who doesn't have a huge athletic subsidy and watching nearly all the #MACtion games. But I bet that's a more accurate guess than Desmond Howard would make.

I vote for IWokeUpLikeThis.

IWokeUpLikeThis: I'll need your 5 teams to protect from the MAC.

MAC protects NIU, Toledo, Ohio, Buffalo, & WMU.

So let’s just draft all of our teams back. We can probably save EMU for last

G5: MWC - Side Show Joe

G5: AAC - HuskyU (DavidSt shadow backup)
UCF, USF, Cincinnati, Memphis, UCONN ||

We can select any G5/FCS team that isn't protected. My initial plan was to pick Cincinnati and Marshall but both got protected.

We'll pick up the remaining 7 MAC teams but let's wait a couple rounds. These first 2 rounds are our only chance to poach someone.

Which option do you guys prefer?
Army/Navy
WKU/MTSU
Houston/best on the board (barter both for a trade)

Definitely grab Western Kentucky and Middle Tennessee if they're not protected. And if you can pick up an FCS team, get Illinois State.
