Also if I want to create a school from scratch and I release all players and staff and change it, the regular season begins when in October that way if I start in early off season I have a ton of time to sign players if I want to build a program from scratch?

NCAA teams do have scouts, and the scouting level in a player's region will influence the chance of him joining the team if they're trying to get him.
You can shortlist players; come to think of it, we should add a college/junior preference option to the filter to make that process easier. Verbal commitments are allowed as early as 15, though, so you will be able to see exactly who wants to play college hockey at that point.
If you released all the players, you wouldn't get players via the normal recruitment process until the next summer, so you'd need to fill the roster with walk-ons for the first season, which wouldn't be pretty.
