Well, obviously if they combine worlds, there is still only "X" number of the really good baseline A+ teams (Kentucky, UNC, Duke, Kansas, UConn, Syracuse, Michigan State, Illinois, UCLA, Arizona).

All those teams are filled in every world, therefore you will have 1/2 the A+ prestige teams and all the coaches who had an A+ prestige team. A couple of them might have A+ prestige teams in both worlds, so they would only get one. You would still likely have 20 coaches (2x10) go down to maybe 18 coaches (2 guys with A+ in both worlds). That still leaves 8 coaches without an A+ prestige team.

Now, I am fine with that at this point (I don't have one of those teams :D) .. but it is unfair. Those guys have been paying customers for years and years to qualify, so screwing them would not be good business.

Now, one thing I think everyone can agree on (or at least most) is a team reset at 25 or 30 years. Once you coach a team that long, you have to get a new job. You can keep your last 10 years of prestige as a coach, apply for new jobs that are open, but your team opens up.

I can't see contraction, however. That would be extremely bad press.

There are no human filled worlds. If someone wants to compete against Sim AI there are opportunities for that everywhere. Unfortunately closing a world would alienate many players in their current "dream jobs", though I think it needs to be done.

Some people love D3 though. closing off an entire division would surely alienate them. i just think that the differences between divisions are bigger than the differences between worlds. leaving as many divisions open as possible would appeal to the widest base of players

D2 really isn't much different then D3. Would the D3 lifers really hate D2 enough to leave?

Yes I love D3 and dislike D2 very much, D2 is nothing more to mean than a neccessary step to get to D1. You take D3 I would think about going all D1, but the retardness of getting to D1 I honestly would quit, like not just say it, but honestly that would be one of the few things that would get me to full on quit.

Good D2 is basically what low D1 should be like, but coaches would rather win at D2 than get nothing more than 1/2nd rounds at D1 while waiting for a job they would never qualify for in the first place.

I'm sure a large amount of the active D3 population would share the same sentiment

I don't know which sentiment you are talking about but I think you're off base if you think lots of people love d3 and hate d2.

Well I think a lot of D3 people would hate to have to leave their D3 teams saying going to D2 isn't any different
