NCFF Commish

I'm sure many of you know about my other league, the NCFF. If you have, the league has gone through a bit of a re-design, and it is now a little less complex than last year's version.
In short, the NCFF is a unique dynasty league that uses only NFL players (no development players), but we make the league act like the college football environment. Here is how we accomplish that:
- NFL rookies are Freshmen.
+ After a season, freshmen become sophomores, and sophomores become juniors, and juniors become seniors, and seniors lose their eligibility.
+ Teams can put a freshman (NFL rookie) on the taxi squad, and if he stays there all season, that player gets a redshirt, extending his eligibility by a season.
+ So we mostly have players in their first 4 seasons of the NFL (years 2-5 if they redshirt). So there is no Manning, Rodgers, Brees, Stafford, etc. But we do have Kaepernick, Luck, RG3, Foles, Wilson, etc.
- No trades. No free agency during the season. Teams must have depth, as the roster you go in with will not change during the seasoon.
- We use an auction system to simulate recruiting.
- Each conference has its own universe of players.
- We have conference races and a pretty exclusive National Championship Tournament (5 teams out of 26 will make the tournament).
- Teams get to schedule their non-conference games.
- For good teams that don't make the playoffs, there are bowl games you can be invited to.
- We have two different entry fees: $50 or $20. More details about what that means on the league site.
For this season, I expect to have 3 conferences of teams. But in future seasons I envision this league to grow to several conferences (eventually maybe even 8 or 10)
