I've already pulled the raw data for the AFL schedules for 1960-69 and the NFL schedules for 1950-2012 from a web site. It will be a bit of work to get them converted into whatever format BTS ends up using (which presumably will be similar to OOTP's). I've got lots of CFL schedule data stored away, but I don't think those would adapt well to BTS at the moment as the CFL tends not to have the sort of clearly defined 'weeks' to the season the way the NFL does.
I've largely sorted out what aspects of OOTP's schedule files BTS should adopt in my view, and those things it could have in addition. It's just a matter of sitting down and writing up the ideas. I'm playing around too with creating additional "common opponent" schedule formats to cover those alignment/season lengths/years for which the NFL wasn't using that scheduling method. Some will be easier than others...
