Editing Division names is really a functional requirement, whereas editing Conference names is not.

If you bring the MWC Conference up to 12 teams, what would the division names be? They can be defaulted to "Division 1" and "Division 2" (which they are), but it would be kind of lame if you couldn't change it. As a side bonus, you can now also change the Big 10's horrible names :-P

Editing Conference names on the other hand, is not required to the same degree, since you can't actually create a new conference. It also wouldn't make as much sense because the name would still be embedded in logos and images throughout the game.

You won't be editing conference names any time soon... unless they allows us to delete or create conferences, which I doubt is happening as well. Do you honestly think someone working in marketing for the Big Ten, SEC, or WAC says, "Sure, you can use our logos and names and teams and everything in your game... oh and yea, they can delete us, too. We don't care!" Yea, fat chance.

They were included in the original plan for the Pac-16. Ben is talking about the original fantasy scenario where the Pac-10 goes to a 16 team league with the 6 new teams it wants from the Big 12, and that includes Texas A&M. Doesn't matter what their stance was/is in real life. Obviously they and 4 other teams nixed the deal.

Half the people I work with went to SU or are currently attending and won't shut up about this.

One thing I noticed that has me optimistic for TB squads is that protected rivals can be edited... actually they HAVE to be edited. When he made changes to the divisions all the rivalries got screwed up. Washington/Ok State, Stanford/Colorado, Oregon/Arizona, and Ok State/Eastern Washington Continuation School were listed as the protected rivals.

So maybe/hopefully when TB teams are added, they can have rivalry games that actually count.

EDIT: On the downside, there's only ONE new high school stadium.

I believe in my team but, I'm really not so sure how we fair up. But most likely we would be playing in the East division, which is A LOT weaker then the West.

Perhaps at first Florida State would be at a disadvantage but being in the SEC with Florida would Definately help with the recruiting at home. Give it a few years and watch that rivalry be back to it's former glory The East is pretty weak right now, pretty good time for additions to it.

When was the last time that Miss State or Arkansas beat Alabama? Now consider the fact that this is mainly discussion about the game and not the actual NCAA and then Miss State and Arkansas are Absolutely cannon fodder for Alabama especially and how often do they beat LSU? I do watch the SEC, great games, but one doesn't even have to these days. All the game's scores are easily accessible these days, check it out.

Of course the Pac-10 wants texas teams in it, will raise its Prestige up equivalent with the B1G and the SEC. Travelling East for games is much easier on the players then travelling West. That is why it is a bad idea for Texas teams to join the Pac unless they have no better options and teams like Texas and Oklahoma absolutely have better options then playing 4 to 5 games out on the west coast a year.

I would love it if we could merge conferences together. My current plan has the Sun Belt at 7 teams and the WAC at 7. It'd be nice if I could merge them into one 14 team conference

[Hoosiers86IU]

I like the idea of being able to set up what conference gets automatic BCS bowl bids and what bowl it ties into. Only changes I'm planning on is making the Orange Bowl a ACC vs. Big East Bowl (ACC already goes there, Big East goes anywhere), and giving the Mountain West an automatic bid to the Fiesta Bowl vs. Big 12 champion.

Here's what I want to know, are the teams going to have the NEW conference logo on their field when you switch them?

It sucked last year because you'd move a team and it would still have the old conference logo on the field every game. Immersion killed....
