(for anyone wondering, there are already 2 teams (Clayton St. and Abilene Christian that have a B HCA @ D2.)
most likely, its because you play a harder schedule and get more losses. hca is very much tied to wins and losses, not rpi. also, HCA is not reset to baseline after each season. its reset when sims take over or something, but with a human coach, it just moves back towards the baseline HCA after each season. when SIUE was amazing, i had a couple seasons where i started with a B, and a couple where i ended with a B+, but thats as high as ive seen. so if you are starting b- and ending b, thats about as much as you can hope for. it doesn't matter in the games that really count, either :)
also, im pretty sure baseline HCA is the same for all d3 and d2 schools
