PrintHaven't heard about the conference re-draft project? Clicky.
We have all fallen for the $100 fantasy draft kit before right? Oh, I shouldn't take a kicker until the last round? Thanks draft kit... here is my e-cash. Well I figured that I should follow that model and scam some money out of our fake conference commissioners for this conference re-draft as well. So give me all your paypals BC Interruption, Red Cup Rebellion, Big East Coast Bias, Black Heart Gold Pants, Team Speed Kills and House of Sparky.
Alright, so this really won't be a draft kit that gives advice or anything, more of a resource list that will provide quick access to information that a conference may value in their selection process. Enjoy the value.
The Official CRFF Conference Re-Draft Project Draft Kit/Resource List
Athletic Revenue
Athletic Revenue 2005-2009 (top 150 programs). This is from a post I did last summer. The numbers are from Equality in Athletics. Here is a snapshot of the top 60 programs over that time period (click the image for a more detailed version).
TV Ratings
Excellent listing of the top 210 media markets, and which universities fall under that market. In theory, this list shows from top to bottom which schools/programs have the most potential local TV's available to watch their games.
Top 10 viewed games of 2010
Academics
Obligatory US News and World Report rankings. Barf.
Co-Eds
Here are some links to various attractive student body rankings. Most are horrible (one has Nebraska at #35!?!?!?!?), but they are here for draft reference purposes, not "hey look at these chicks" purposes. This is where I put my almost daily disclaimer that CRFF is not actually a porn, or a porn linking, site.

Rivalries
This one may or may not be considered, but here are some links anyway. Unfortunately, not a single rivalry ranking lists Farmageddon anywhere, so I'm not sure how much weight we can really give these.

Party Rankings
Thanks to an excellent suggestions by Something Witty, here are the party school rankings that I could dig up. This should play some kind of a role in school selection after all. Keep in mind though, the ranking method is obviously subjective instead of being based on something concrete like chug races, or STD rates, or paternity suits per capita, or any other hard facts that there are good times to be had on campus.

Playboy Top Ten Party Schools (I linked to the Huff Post article about it instead of directly so no one gets fired for accidentally porning at work)
That is all I have for now...however, this Draft Kit will evolve as other variables are suggested. So what other aspects could be included in program evaluation?

Can't believe the huffington post greatist sports rivalries doesn't include ou-texas
Hate OU. No real love for texas, but I root for them vs. OU. But I’d still go to the game if I were given tickets, not that that would EVER happen.
How about adding a party school ranking to your draft kit?
For what it's worth...
Maybe I missed this...
But how do the different school characteristics match up against eachother?
For example, what’s more valuable: Being the best party school or having the hottest girls?
How do the different categories stack up against eachother? Or do you let the commissioners decide that for themselves and then explain why they chose each school?
imagine the tailgating in an all party school league
Cowboys Ride For Free, Drinking PBR's and slappin ho's since 2010
ohhh add a best tailgating school list to the draft kit too!
Gotta vote for OSU & K-State myself. both have a huge parking lot adjacent to the stadium that makes for a good party pre-game. Not that other schools don’t have this, but of the stadiums I’ve visited these were good.
For what it's worth...

any league can build it however they want
it would be sweet to try to build a “hottest girl conference”, or “ugliest guy conference”. We may have to have these supplemental drafts btw.
the first championship in college football was handed out in 1869. so that would make 140 more champions since then.
i counted around 239 championships handed out of all the schools on that list. there were co championship years but some of the schools like michigan, bama and tennessee have inflated their total. the early years you could claim a championship from a regional newspaper. michigan is much lower, espn said bama had 8 or 9 championships and tennessee has three. the ap is the best indicator.
Anderson Silva would never fight "Bones". He is too scared to fight the real P4P champion. Nick Diaz, the man who will prove to the MMA world that he is the best WW in the world. Still public enemy #1 and enjoying every minute of it.
