Poor question. What matters is how much relative modifier credit should the team receive from a recruit who wants rebuild, and the answer is a significant amount. Not coincidentally, the difference in relative modifier credit is basically the same for intra-division battles at every division, and it is a lot.

Why not very bad...

The "wants rebuild" preference will always be funny. If a kid wants PT, that's a separate category.

The idea a kid would actively seek to play for a loser whether or not he rides the pine is just bananas.

I think you could make a case that it should be rare, especially among top recruits. And for the most part, it is now. But for those oddballs, this preference is one way to mitigate (not overcome, exactly) a big prestige disadvantage.

He wants to be the focus of the team, he wants to write the record books, etc... in that sense, playing for a Big 6 team, no matter how inept they currently are, won't move the needle as much.

Preferences aren't meant to be taken separately. It's better to think in terms of preference profile, and how they interact with the other, much more important modifier - prestige.

Don't forget Shoe, you get ONE vote. Your son who played the game 2 years ago and has you now run his account for him doesn't get a vote.

Don't be a dumb@$$, Duke. I'm not voting in this poll at all, because it's poorly worded, simplistic, begs all sorts of questions, etc. Come up with a coherent poll that represents the issue at hand, and I'll gladly vote as many times as I feel like.

"I'll gladly vote as many times as I feel like."

Oh no you won't!!

Great to see we have so many level headed folks on here.

HAHAHA wow, shoe and his gang REALLY don't like this poll. So controversial.
