Here's my attempt at a new simplified mock draft:

6 GMs

12 round snake draft with order determined by lottery

First 4 picks must be in contiguous states (building a footprint)

Picks and schools already selected may be traded

Proposed trades should be PMed to the commissioner who will determine if the trade is equitable and will occur after the 12 rounds are completed

I will serve as commissioner and not GM a team to preserve objectivity

All 130 FBS teams are eligible for selection

After 12 rounds are complete, any GM with less than 12 teams will participate in supplemental rounds until all leagues have 12 teams

After the draft, each GM shall submit their division alignment and identify any protected crossovers, should they choose to utilize them. Also include a paragraph talking up the strengths of your new league.

I will declare a winner and runner up based on the following criteria:

overall strength, quality rivalries, originality, geographic and cultural cohesiveness

I will also post a fan vote thread where folks can vote for their favorite and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each conference.


Comment if you want to GM a team. First 6 get in.
