Back before a few washed out players brought about the demise of EA Sports NCAA Football, I would build dynasties, usually out of MAC squads. I generally would pick a the most gimmicky teams and go recruit. Success bred success, eventually building the Akrons up to the level of the Ohio States of the world.
That was then.
Now that there is hope for NCAA Football making a return, I got to thinking how I would build my dynasties? In the spirit of realism, I would do a complete 180. I would be as vanilla as vanilla ice cream.
