Again, I'll just say my suggested rules have most of what the thread that Nick linked.
Whether it be 20 and under or 21 and under or whatever, that exact thing can be worked out. Yes, in the real world there's stipulations on age at draft/signing date. If we choose that route, great, that'll only add more realism. An age number is simply easier to do with the info we can pull from the roster page.
And DJ, I'll say the only question of this league is if it can really handle 32 teams and that's a question any league has to ask itself.
