FREE NCAA 2009 Rosters

This BK guy bought DT's website for 5k supposedly through a 3rd party and DT didn't know it was BK. However DT has a new website, I can't remember what it is but he does have a new one.

BK is Brian Kladenburg or something like that. He charges for rosters, which is not allowed. He has made a ton of money off of it, and could ruin the roster editing for everyone because of this.

Or what mstevmac said... and that is what I get for not refreshing the posts for a few minutes while I actually had to answer the phone :biggrin:

The big hubbub was a couple years ago. Fairdale King who is a poster that gave away his rosters caught BK stealing his roster and then reselling it. FK actually made up a few players to see if someone was stealing them and lo and behold each of his "phantom" players was in BK's roster.

To top it off BK has been buying up alot of other sites the past few years and actually bought FK Rosters website using a 3rd party. So alot of people thinking it was FK's website bought it from BK.

The bigger issue is now this year there should be NO reason to actually pay for rosters. Heck, last year you were able to get them for free too. But BK basically takes advantage of the casual gamer that doesn't read message boards or even realize that you can get rosters for free.

So what BK has been doing is trying to buy any website that would be the first to pop up on any yahoo or google search for NCAA rosters. Cuz it would totally ruin his "business" if the top result in any NCAA roster search is a website that says it will give you rosters for free. ( I mean it is a good business practice, but it takes advantage of players that aren't in the "know")

The other issue is the bigger picture that might impact the actual game. The reason the rosters need to be free is due to NCAA rules. If the NCAA realizes that someone is making a profit from "amateur" players name they might force EA from allowing rosters to be edited in the first place. Which would just plain suck.

I see.....and yeah lets hope this douche doesn't ruin things for the rest of us....I can't imagine playing this game without rosters again.

Thanks!!! If you find DT's new site let me know. I've been using his rosters for about 5 years myself and I can't imagine using anything else but I'll give Pasta Padre's rosters a try.

I'm fairly certain Pasta Padre's roster will be just fine for basic named rosters.

You might want DTs if your looking for edited rosters with created/modified players and such.

The thing I find interesting about PP's roster, is that he made it sound as though it was received from someone else... possibly a roster from an EA employee, is my current guess. PP certainly didn't make it sound as though he had slaved over them for 4-5 days.

Anyone know of any "Safe" Rosters? I don't want my game to be messed up because I download some rosters...


Agreed. I'm hearing of some glitches if any changes/edits are made to team rosters once they are distributed. I want to be able to change attributes w/o my system or the rosters screwing up.

I've got TheBigSquadooshs roster, but don't know how to import it so it reads correctly.

I tried loading TheBigSquadoosh's roster and it didn't work for me either.

DT Linder's roster is also available in EArosters com (with a space inbetween) 360 locker. Try downloading that file and loading it from File Management. It worked for me.
