Take Your Favorite College to the NCAA Basketball Final Four!

I ran Oregon into the ground but with recruiting won the national title in my 5th year.

One suggestion I may have is to let the powerhouses be powerhouses.......how the heck is North Carolina out and Gardner Webb is in as a #1 seed?

Like others, I would like to see at least some preference for the traditional powers--perhaps this could be done in recruiting. The big boys of basketball normally get the best recruits in real life, so shouldn't they get a bump in the simulation, too?

On the other hand, those players tend to leave early, too. What if the occasional blue chip underclassman bolted from your team early?

It's interesting to me that so many of you would like to see the traditionally strong conferences better represented in the tournament. That's a change I can make fairly easily so I probably will.

The easiest cutoff for teams in your conference getting in the tournament was whether your team was in. After all, I could hardly have the fourth place conference team in the tournament without the first three. But didn't seem important to grab any teams that finish lower than yours. I probably could do that.

The suggestion about player positions is good but it adds a level of complexity to the programming that I'm not sure is worth it. Then I have to make sure you have enough centers and forwards and guards. And then I should probably add minutes and maybe even injuries.

I've also thought about players leaving school early and academic disqualifications - even rating players in academics. But that's probably in the future if the game gets popular enough.
