I know they said that they didn't address the prestige calculation in the recent updates, but does this seem like an unusual and ticketworthy drop?

I think it's ridiculous for that team not to have an A+.

Nothing to see here, although prestige is something they would like to look at in the future.

Another question, how is this team a C+? They ended last season at C, human coach leaves, now C+?

It looks like they had a player drafted after Season 42, resulting in the bump.

Unranked and lowish RPI for an A+ would be my guess. Especially in comparison with those last 2 examples who were both ranked and had top 20 RPIs

Ha this looks like my D2 team.  I don't have any problem going to an A...just thought it was another example.

It's almost impossible to be unranked and outside of the RPI top 25 and keep an A+.  While I'm not sure I agree that this is entirely realistic, I generally agree with it.  In any given world in D2 or D3 there are usually something in the vicinity of what, 8-10 A+s?  I don't think a team coming off a season outside of the top 25 should qualify with those elite programs.

Do you seriously contend that the four-year window that he posted doesn't qualify as elite?

Just a guess, but I'd be surprised if there's a better and more elite four-year window in D2 of that entire world.

Aaron,

Thanks for the feedback. Prestige is high on our list for review and improvement.

This is what I got after a couple of basic responses - "The recent update didn't address prestige" and "Please refer to the knowledge base article"
