Delete player pool - regenerate player pool

I was hoping there would be an easy way to do this in ootp2007 - but alas, cannot find one.... does it exist?

I would like to be able to use templates for league structure (team names, logos, minor league names, etc -- EVERYTHING - except the player pool).

Problem is - all the template and quickstart options seem to yield the EXACT same player pool as with the template/QS.

It would be great if there was a simple, quick "Delete all players/regenerate new player pool" option.

In older versions of OOTP (I'm thinking OOTP2 through OOTP6.5) -- this could be done by simply creating a new league, starting with an initial draft, then copying the players.dat file from one *.lg folder to another. In OOTP2006 - it got a little harder, as I found you had to bring over multiple files (the scouting.dat and coaches.dat files -- otherwise, you ended up facing a draft with absolutely no ratings of any kind for anyone).

I know I'm not the only one that would like something like this - but maybe it's possible right now and I just don't know how?

I generally play 10-15 seasons with a fictional league, then like to start a new one with "fresh" players. I also have certain... preferences... for the initial draft pool (I prefer a pool that's heavy with prospects).

Is there any quick and easy way to use any of the predefined league setup rules - so I don't need to recreate the teams/league structure/parks/rules/etc every time -- but simply 'regenerate' the entire player pool (and, I guess, coaches/scouts for that matter).

I've tried going back to the old 'create a new leage' then copy/paste some files, but I end up with corrupted leagues, so I haven't found that magic formula yet.

If not - I'm thinking that many solo players would also like this option.
