Hi guys:

I am bit confused about assignment 1. Are we all doing UNC baseketball team? Also, where do we get all player information from? Are we suppose to hard code by hand into the database?

You can do any UNC sports team (or a team from another university if you really want to). Roster information and stats for all of the sports are available on http://www.goheels.com under the sports tab. As for creating the JSON file to work with, you either need to code all of the entries by hand, or do some research and figure out how to scrape information from a website and you can do that to generate a JSON file with the information you need.

That is correct! Any team is fine. I have even approved a non-sports team for someone and if you want to pitch me on another idea that is a "roster-like" I am willing to hear it.

So is the USA Olympic Figure Skating team okay? Even though it isn't a UNC team?

Yes.
