Until that legal issue is resolved, it would be highly risky to invest alot of time into a mod like this.

There are plenty of apps out there that could easily be ported over. Some only need a simple user bridge... Im working on porting over phpFFL, Pickem and Squares (kinda like you do at the bar)...

Even Still, Player stats come in to play with more of a fantasy draft kind of application. A Fantasy sports mod could still be used for scores and game outcomes. Also, I don't think that college sports are ubject to these license. Even if it were limited to say Nascar and College sports in the player stats category...that in itself would be be huge. So to summerize:

1. Fantasy Draft for College Sports with player stats
2. Fantasy Sports (scores) for both college and professional.

Or just a copy of what phpBB sites have from Jslstudios...

Yahoo fantasy sports is huge, if this were an issue...I would think Yahoo would be aware of it and made sure they stay in the bounds. Yahoo uses these sites for stats...they are linked at the bottom of their fantasy sports page.

Sportsticker is a commercial stats feed that is pretty damn expensive. They also pay a license fee to the NFL.

The dudes comments about stats and the NFL are correct. The NFL is a pain to deal with lately.. hell, they are going around to Fan Websites and threatening the take legal actions against them for simple things such as Post Icons that look like the actual team logo (ask the owner of Grid Iron Fans about it) ...

Anyway.. until the league does put an official stop to it, there are plenty of data providers out there that are free... I might even still have the links to Yahoos sports feeds that are not public but have been there for the last 6 years or so... I used them for my Salary Cap Football League..
