Pro/College fantasy football idea (1 Viewer)

My friend and I had an idea. A joint two team per owner league where every owner had both a college and a pro fantasy football team. They would be Dynasty style leagues and each owners teams would share a connection. Each owner would be able to place a franchise tag on one of their graduating college players, adding them to their pro team before every year's rookie draft. We're wondering if there would be enough interest to fill out a 10 or 12 team league (which means we need 8 or 10 more interested owners). We're hoping to find dedicated but laid back owners who are in it more for passion of the game and bragging rights than winning money.

The pro teams would be an IDP league with a 40-50 man roster (final size not yet decided). The college teams would have a 40-45 man roster with team defense/special teams and the teams would be based off of home schools where each team would be able to add homescool players to their team before the draft each year.

If you think you might be interested in something like this go ahead and post here. The site we'd likely use is Fantrax as it's the only one I know of with both ncaa and nfl league options. League fees would be between $13.50 - $20 per owner depending on whether all the owners want a rewards system for league/division champions.

 
bump.

Wow.... I knew it would be hard to drum up interest but I thought we'd get at least one nibble. Scoring and league rules are somewhat open for discussion. The main idea is to have a joint College/Pro fantasy league that gives a small sense of carrying players for their entire careers. Recruit wisely in college to secure a future star every year on your pro team. My friend and I would really love to do this but we need at least 8 other owners. Preferably 10 so we can fill out a 12 team league. I'd prefer to keep the league fees low, with the focus being on team pride and bragging rights rather than money. If enough people think a slightly higher reward is needed for incentive the league fees can be a little negotiable too. What would we have to do to get people interested in this idea?

 
Bumpity bump.

Not giving up on this idea yet. My friend and I still think this is an awesome and innovative idea for fantasy football. We are open to suggestions to make the idea more appealing to other potential league members. Just post them here or PM me.

 
Going to get an early start on this for next year. This is still something my friend and I both really want to do.
