There is a gap. It’s not huge, but it’s there. But keep in mind, an A+ caliber team, even at a lower level, can have numerous preference advantages over a D- team, that can wipe out the prestige advantage. At A+ I don’t mind at all fighting higher division teams for late signing recruits, but I do think twice about fighting for a recruit that is going to want to sign early, if there’s a higher level team on him, because even if I have a big advantage, that higher level team can sign the player before my “red light” is lifted.
