A college basketball coaching sim — and the data packs I build for it.
Campus Hoops lets you coach any of 365 Division I programs: recruit blue-chip talent, sim every possession, climb the live NET rankings, and chase a 68-team national title. What hooks me is the modding side — the game runs on JSON "data packs," so you can swap in entirely different leagues. These are the three pieces I keep coming back to.
The links
The coaching sim itself. Take any job across 31 conferences, run four-round point-based recruiting, and watch a real play-by-play engine drive every possession. NET rankings, quadrant records, SOS and WAB are recomputed every game day, feeding a 68-team bracket on Selection Sunday.
campus-hoops-web.web.app →Import a data pack from Pastebin or a JSON file, edit conferences, teams, awards and tournament rules, then post the updated pack back and drop its URL into the game. This is how I build and tweak custom leagues for Campus Hoops.
campushoops.streamlit.app →A custom data pack I built — Oregon state high school men's basketball reimagined as a Campus Hoops league. OSAA-style state championship branding, 64-team bracket, and a full slate of awards. Paste this URL into the game (or the Mod Utility) to load it.
pastebin.com/VrjGuAAw →A community-maintained index of Campus Hoops data packs — Pastebin links spanning D-I, D-II, D-III, NAIA and high school across different years and states, tagged with creator, NIL status, and tournament-structure notes. The place to browse what's out there before building your own.
