If I can program it, OOTP developers can program it in no time at all. The word doc in my ballpark directory describes my digital NCAA world.

In My Digital world, I have written software to:

* Manage AI and human(me) coach reputations

* Assess which NCAA team each recruit is interested in, and which recruits each NCAA team is interested in

* Execute a recruiting cycle where NCAA Teams sign recruits where higher reputation teams tend to get the better players, which I then insert back in OOTP as draft results

* Generate complete, realistic NCAA schedules every year

* Calculate RPI, track Conference standings and generate a Top 32 ranking throughout each week of each season.

* Manage Conference Tournament week (because OOTP can’t handle the variety of conference tournament approaches I use).

* Select the NCAA playoff field and manage the regional and Omaha playoff brackets (with 142 total teams, I go with a 32 team field comprised of 8-four team regional double elimination tournaments. The 8 winners go to Omaha)

* Calculate reputation changes for each team upon the conclusion of each season

* Calculate AI and human (me) coach reputation changes upon the conclusion of each season

* Manage the coach ‘silly season’ where teams fire underperforming coaches and hire good coaches away from lower reputation teams

Is there any way that you could share some of this programming/software so that others, including myself, could run a similar type of college baseball world?
