Al, you make a great point. To alleviate this problem for any season prior to 1998, I've been tracking the official (long) team names instead of team numbers. I've stuck mainly with tracking the schools involved on each team, as sponsors can change radically between years. And I've even found schools that were spelt differently between years (probably correcting spelling mistakes). I've got that covered
