That has been my complaint the last few days looking at the new generated recruits.

I don't think anything changed in the prestige determining department.

I'm still waiting for that conspiracy theory...

Ok, Iba has just wrapped up, where Rhode Island, a 708 3rd place team won the national championship, but that's another subject.

In that world my Utah team finished 2nd in conf., won the conf. tourney, and went to the second round of the NT.  We stayed at a B- prestige.  Ok, that sucks, and under the old sim engine I definitely would have went up to a B, but fine.  My problem is that Colorado, with a coach that I believe was on the verge of being fired; had 103 rpi and didn't make the postseason in any way, also stayed at and B- and the coach was retained (good for him). 

Point:  If there are going to be more "diversity" of recruits, isn't it important that less teams have access to the best ones?  This just may be some kind of glitch in the new sim, but with the way the new recruit generation looks to me, the possibility for great match up disparity looks to be possible from position to position from team to team.  There probably aren't going to be starting line ups of 99 defenders at every position anymore for mid major teams unless you sell out for it.  That good.  But holding teams back to  create more variance in team prestige ( I sent in a ticket and I'm just waiting for them to rank it to conference prestige), sucks.

Didn't Arizona finish fifth in their conference in 1997 when they won the national Championship?  Thought so, so what's the problem with Rhode Island?  Oh, and where's the conspiracy?

I really don't see how that can be said since, every single season I've made the NT we've gone up in prestige.  I've never been an A-, so I would assume at some point that trend would tend to stop.  I wouldn't think it would come at B- though.  (Conspiracy Theory) Unless you are purposely trying to hold back teams that aren't in power conferences, which will in turn, further widen the gap between the "A" teams and everyone else.  What would be the point of being in a non-power conference if no matter what you did, your prestige would always be dragged down, by your conference?  If that's even that case, I'm not sure why we stayed the same, but it seems odd.  The point is, that with the wide variance among recruits now, being slighted on prestige at smaller schools or in smaller conferences is a killer.
