After many hours of research and work, I have created a TV Sports Basketball
league comprised of some of the greatest teams in college basketball
history.  Using the NewZap file editor, I was able to edit the heights,
jersey numbers and player ratings to make the rosters more meaningful
and realistic.  

The ratings, heights and jersey numbers are based on the excellent book
"College Basketball's 25 Greatest Teams" and my own observations and
memories of the players.

REMINDER:  Only copy the "tdat", "rosters.prt" and "seas" files
           on a COPY of your Reel 2 diskette.


The following college teams are included in the league:

68 UCLA Bruins (featuring The Big A)
54 San Francisco Dons 
72 UCLA Bruins 
53 Kentucky Wildcats
67 Houston Cougars (featuring The Big E)
59 Cincinnati Bearcats (featuring The Big O)
73 Notre Dame Fighting Irish

63 UCLA Bruins
77 Kentucky Wildcats
87 Oklahoma Sooners
75 Louisville Cardinals 
60 Cincinnati Bearcats
82 Houston Cougars (Phi Slamma Jamma)

80 Indiana Hoosiers 
73 North Carolina State Wolfpack 
83 Georgetown Hoyas 
73 Maryland Terrapins
61 Ohio State Buckeyes 

74 Indiana Hoosiers 
76 Indiana Hoosiers
81 North Carolina Tar Heels (featuring Jordan NOT Jordache)
86 Indiana Hoosiers (all right, I'll admit I'm a native Hoosier and
   an IU graduate)
79 Michigan State Spartans (featuring Ervin Johnson when he was just
   Sleight of Hand)








I've also included three college all star teams:

Indiana Hoosiers (who else?)
North Carolina Tar Heels
Ohio State Buckeyes

which are comprised of some of the best players to ever hit the
hardwood at those schools.

For you purists, I left the Cinemaware team in tact. 8)

Finally, I created an all-time NBA all star team for those of 
you who, like me, occasionally want to kick the computer's ass.  

Please be forewarned that I assigned my own ratings to all the 
players on the teams.  You will NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY MODIFY
THESE ROSTERS using the Edit Teams utility within TV Sports Basketball.

Some players actually have negative overall ratings on their
respective teams.  This happened when the players aggregate ability
ratings totaled more than 32.  For example, I think Oscar Robertson
has a rating of 37 which is a ranking of -4.  (for you RPGers, maybe
after their rating reached a certain level they should simply be
classified as "LO")  

I've also enclosed a small text file which indicates each home 
team's jersey color.  Useful information for anyone wanting to
create their own teams.

My next project is to do something similar with the NBA.  Look
for it in the next few months.

If you find yourself in a giving mood, a small ($5) contribution will be
accepted.  Otherwise this stuff is considered freely distributable as
long as this text file accompanies the other files.
