What if, and hang with me here, but what if they go fully virtual?
I bet we could find a mod that we could upload to 1999 NFL Blitz, or something. They could play as the raiders, but change all jersey's and names. No one actually plays them, they just play against the PC. Or maybe, all of the other teams on their schedule nominate one guy that has to play them as another team, but the nominee has to be a member of the opposing school's actual football team. On KU's side of the game, they could rotate whoever is controlling by Offence and Defense, or by downs, or whatever.
