The CF After Dark crew is back with another stat draft, and this time we're drafting total yards from a single season for Big 12 players since 2010. BASIC RULES: 1. Contestants draft a single season from a player's career and receive that stat for their team. Example: In a basketball scoring average draft, selecting 2016 Georges Niang would give you 20.5 points per game for your team. 2. Once a player has been selected, they are removed from the draft pool and another year of their career cannot be selected. 3. Contestants must specifically designate the calendar year (can't say (player)'s senior season. Selecting a year which the player did not play within criteria of the draft counts as an invalid selection. 4. If an invalid pick is made, the draft selection "flushes" to the end of the current round. If it occurs at the end of a round, the pick falls to the end of the next round.
