Kaiser seems to only be picking teams with reddish jerseys, so you know he's got his eye on them too.

the Red Wedding is coming up on Game of Thrones, i want to be dressed appropriately.

I like the Florida/FSU duo. Lost me with Stanford and UCLA especially with Georgia available.

Notre Dame in a pod of 1 and the other 15 teams in 3 other pods.

That could work.

My map is setting up just fine. Its a long draft. 16 teams. The foundation is being built with the big money makers yet real good teams.

Its May and time for the 2nd annual College draft on the Syracuse board.

4 posters will be drafting 16 team college conferences in snake draft format. There are a few changes this year 1. their are no anchor teams like last year 2. two new participants TexanMark, Arbitragegls are joining Bees and Kaiser in drafting the conferences taking my slot and JackBauer44's slot. The guidelines will be
1. The draft is 17 rounds, you draft 16 NCAA Division 1 universities/colleges and 1 Commissioner for your conference.
2.To draft the best overall athletic conference can you.
3.This conference has to be able to command as high a TV contract as you can generate.
4. 80% of TV money comes from Football, 20% comes basketball, and remember a lot of TV sets increases the chances of forming a TV network. So remember football matters more than basketball
5. Try to protect rivalries that much sense economically for your conference depending on teams you draft.
6. Academics matter, but are not an important factor.
7. Setup your divisions with your conference when your done, and if you have any protected games good luck.

After you select your school give a 1/2 sentence explaining your selection. The draft order in odd rounds will be 1. Mark 2. Bees 3. Kaiser 4. Arb, and in even rounds in reverse 1.Arb 2. Kaiser 3. Bees 4. Mark

Round 1, TexanMark you are on the clock.

What happens after the draft is completed? How do you win?

its his NFL strategy.

the key will be how much we let him in fill in the fodder.

Says the commish with teams in Florida and California.

Actually it's an interesting strategy question: Do you lock in a strong pod early or set the foundation for four even pods? Or go with 8-team divisions? Or just stick to your board, take the Best School Available and sort them out later?

You look like you were already out to lunch with those last 2 picks.

As a Giants fan, you were halfway there...

But Mark's photo expository accompanying each pick is quickly narrowing the gap...

This is called "The Calipari Strategy"

 

[rrlbees]

Auburn. The 8th most valuable football program and pairs up with LSU. Would much rather have had Georgia but Kaiser got me there.

I like Arb early and now TM late.

I think after USC went everyone tried getting too cute with the Pac-12 teams. UCLA/Stanford were fools gold and then Oregon, while a solid pick, really cannot be paired with anyone of substance.

I'm just trying to figure out how to merge this thread with NewMexiCuse's wine tasting/NBA draft thread from the hoops board and one or two random Cali rants...

Talk about things that will make your head hurt...
