Looking for volunteers to help rebuild the NCAA file. I've had several ideas about how to do this relative to last time and how best we can make it usable in future years without having to redo everything. If you're up for helping, in what should be a fairly permanent addition to our add-on files, please PM me or post in here. I'll start coordinating it soon. There's going to be lots and lots of pieces to this, as well as activating the other leagues, but if we do it properly and keep everything apart until as late as possible before integrating, that should help us reuse the file in the future. |

I'm not well versed on using the editor, but if I can offer a hand collecting data of any kind, let me know, I may be able to help |

Most of the work that needs to be done for NCAA is very simple and not at all subjective. It's basically creating teams, putting in kits, an Athletic director, coaching staff/stadium (only if in the DB already), inputting some player history, rivals, average attendance....most of this can be found on the websites for each team/conference or on wiki. Its basically just a laborious project but one well worth doing. I'm going to see if I can salvage anything that came across last time, as many of the conferences were done separately and then merged. That could save an enormous amount of work if it was possible. |

Can anyone who did a file last time for the colleges please sent it to me again if they have it (look in your sent folder if nowhere else). I'm going to see what can be salvaged first. |
