Thanks for the link to your logos. That helps a ton. I gave up looking (not that I put a lot of effort into looking) and started to create an NCAA universe.

What I have at this point is 300 teams (I left out the one 2016 independent of NYIT). 2 sub leagues with 16 divisions in one and 15 in the other. The divisions are strictly the NCAA Conferences and I did not mess with the divisions within the actual NCAA Conferences. The 2 sub leagues each have 150 teams.

The way I divided the Conferences was based on the NCAA Regions and arbitrarily put 4 Regions into the 2 Sub Leagues (which I named National League of Schools and American League of Schools).

I tried to use the proper names of the schools (sorry Ole Miss, you are Univ of Mississippi) and use abbreviations that were unique. So, not all of the traditional ones were used. Ohio State Univ and Oklahoma State Univ, for example, are not both OSU.

So, that is where I am at. What I realized last night is that the logos and colors is going to be a larger undertaking. Step one will be either renaming each logo, jersey and cap file to match the names in this file OR just manually doing the matching. After that all of the team colors need to be set.

So, all of that to get to three questions.
1. Any shortcuts to these steps would be greatly appreciated.

2. I need to know this before I decide how to proceed with the logos, jerseys and hats. If I manually match them and then create a template from there will the manual matching be a part of that?

3. Any suggestions on the Development Settings so that players will develop in 4 years? Would the settings need to be different if someone was wanting to make this a feeder into an MLB setup?
