I would love to host a website on my hosting provider, probably wordpress or something similar based on what stats need to be posted etc. I also would love to be the commissioner of a league like this. I have time, not a ton, but something that I can easily do in my spare time especially if we do it on a day to day basis.
Let me know what everyone thinks or who is interested as I would love to get this going and I love College Basketball.
Glad to see your interested, obituaryconch, and welcome to the forums!
If you have the space or money to host a website, that would be great! I don't know if Wordpress would work well for hosting a league; as far as I'm aware Wordpress is typically used for hosting blogs. Most online leagues that I am familiar with have used either a forum or Discord to host information and discussions.
Your mention of "a day to day basis" reminded me of another important part of organizing online leagues: how quickly would the league progress through a season? I'll have to think about how this would work with the College game and carefully research and compare how other online leagues handle their schedules.
*LATER ADDITION TO POST*
As far as being commissioner is concerned, I personally think that someone who has been active in the community for many years should be the initial commissioner. People like CoachC, PointGuard or Wayne23 would be my first choices, and others including Valdarix, bloomington, Slybelle1, NCAAhoops, and C-Bailey24 would also be nominated on my ballot. If the first commissioner no longer wishes to be commissioner after the league has operated successfully for some time (after the first season has been played), and if you or I or others prove to be dedicated, active, capable, and congenial members, then you or I or someone else could step up and become commissioner. These are merely my opinions and my standards. If you are the one who is responsible for hosting and/or maintaining the website, then you should have a leadership position; maybe you would be designated as an administrator.
