I really like the NCAA idea- and though it might not work perfectly- I had a couple ideas for making it a little more realistic- no offense meant- if you don't agree- no big deal:

First, if it hasn't already been mentioned- "Free agents may leave this league"- needs to be checked- and either 3 or 4 years needs to be the minimum service years depending on whether you want juniors to be eligible. This might be a bit unrealistic- but I think it would also reduce the number of 5 and 6 year guys in the league.

2nd, with a roster of 30- and assuming a full 4 year stay for each player- the draft should really be 7 or 8 players (with an average of 7.5 guys leaving every year) to ensure you have enough players.

3rd, I think placing the league as an A ball equivalent is actually correct- but maybe making this league a Rookie type league would generate younger players...perhaps not- and maybe you've already looked into it- just an idea.

4th, I wonder if setting the player salaries even lower- like $500- instead of $5000- would ensure guys don't overstay their welcome. Again, maybe you've looked into it already- but worth mentioning.

I LOVE this idea -and think the major turnoffs are obviously 30 year old college players- and guys with 8 years of college eligibilty....Just thought that maybe the above might help make things more realistic- and maybe Markus can look into implenting this next year...
