Warning: I TEND TO COMPLAIN ALOT, the university collection

hello my name is Minyard Dee Ingram IV (Codee Ingram) i have been a member of xbl FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS 

I posted here because the email form was making me quite angry (the code doodle thngy would not show up grrr)

ok here goes and please do not post angry comments only creative critasism is allowed in my posts XD
Thank you

I would like to start out by saying this is not me complaining, this is me with a dissapointment from high hopes asking for a small change. I easily understood why you have the collection of colleges that you got together. I understand that you could've done a lot worse in your selection. I am personally looking toward going to Vanderbuilt university in Nashville, Tennessee and was wondering if you would be expanding upon the collection. This series of thoughts brings out another good question: Would you be considering an application/add-on/update that would allow the creation of our own avatar gear? This would assumingly take much work, the capability has been seen, however in project Natal; So if you would please explain to me what is stopping the XBL group from marketing this to us right now instead of waiting for project natal which i assume will be terrible anyway. I personally saw many problems and glitches which were not pleasing to the eye during the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon clip. so my main questions are, to make it simple for you, will you be adding more universities and whats stopping us from customizing our own avatar? Please, be dscriptive and creative in your denial and obvious negative response

Yours truthfully,
                  M.D. Ingram IV

Apparently from the press release regarding the University Collection it mentions "plans for collegiate expansion". If your College of choice is not present it's possible it may be added in the future.

As for creating your own personal avatar clothing I do not see this as a possibility. Even with Natal, the fact remains that, in it's current form, the Avatar Marketplace specializes in micro-transactions. It's another way Microsoft (and it's partners) are making money. Allowing users to make their own would completely cannibalize those sales.

I would venture a guess that when Microsoft adds more colleges it will do it by adding all the SEC teams and then working itself down to the Sunbelt.

It is spelled that way, lol, he just dissed his own school.... And OP, expect them to get many other universities up there before Vandy.....theyre on a lower rung than most in terms of cultural popularity.

Re: Warning: I TEND TO COMPLAIN ALOT, the university collection
Louisville Cardinals definetly deserves to be on the list. Big East school in a BCS conference, if UCONN is there and Syracuse is there, (which are both basically considered basketball schools) then Louisville deserves to be there out of the same conference. I know that Syracuse and UCONN are on a bigger popularity level when compared to Louisville but we are a school that has really represented the Big East well. Louisville deserves to be there. Any idea on when there might be more schools added?

KU is on there. Sweet. I want a theme though.

And no flaming/condescending attitudes/opinions other than mine are allowed on my comment.

I know that WAC is treated bad when boise beat oregon they got no credit.... but now that oregon rebounded and only has one loss they are amazing but no damn credit to boise state... its so unfair how non BCS get credit cause they have great football and no one recognizes it if you support a non BCS team sometimes the non BCS games are more fun and family friendly... but whatever WAC will never get respect no matter what they do

Agreed but the of the rest of the WAC helped out a little more BSU would be in. I mean the bottom of the WAC is god awful (that includes Idaho, though this has been quite the year). Plus when the other top teams in the WAC i.e. Fresno and Nevada can't win their OOC games it hurts our conference.

But look at the OOC games Fresno and Nevada had some of the toughest games out there this year you cant judge by that.. just proves the system is unfair

Yup, that's probably the biggest reason why such an option isn't likely. Additionally, if they were to let users make their own, that would be yet another thing they'd have to monitor for Code of Conduct violations and they'd also have to design a user-friendly tool for making the accessories.

Yeah Fresno and Nevada had tough OCC's Im just saying it would help to win them, or in case of Notre Dame keep it close.

Not trying to rag on Nevada I think they are a great team, they just didn't match up well.

The point is the WAC will get no love until we start winning more OOC games

I gotta agree with ya here man they had 6 Big Ten Teams but not one was The University of Iowa? Iowa is easily a top 5 in every sport and was Ranked #4 in the BCS at one point this season but yet they get forgotten?

Re: Warning: I TEND TO COMPLAIN ALOT, the university collection
Iowa got screwed, but serves them right for beating my Spartans a few weeks ago.  Wink [;)]  The fact that ANY schools from BCS conferences have been left out (Big 12's OU?!) is pretty wild. 

Anyways, I'd like to see some football helmets, basketball and football jerseys, and maybe cheerleader outfits too for each school.  Maybe an entire football uniform with helmet, pads, and everything for the "total outfit" section of the Markeplace would be cool... even though football season will be over in a couple weeks.
