Okay, okay...so I've been convinced that the new changes will help fix the game and I'm hoping to beta test as well. You guys have presented some pretty valid points and I am looking forward to it.

But...what if Whatif came to us and said, "We're going to take the top 5 customer suggestions to fix the game and implement them. This would be to help the game on all three levels and attract new customers as well." What would those 5 be? My first one would be simple, and it would help out new Coaches as well...
1. Allow new Coaches to purchase FSS in their first season.

I think D3 would be perfect if this was implemented. I know the other suggestions will be geared towards D1, which I don't play.

And yes, this is all a moot point. But I wanted to show the powers-that-be that they have a pretty damn good game here that with a few tweaks ( in a perfect world) would be top shelf. This old-timer is ready (fingers crossed) for the changes.

I'm not sure on this one, but I think the reason why that rule is in effect is to prevent current coaches from taking advantage of the $5.95 (or whatever it is) first season discount for new coaches. For example, I could create a new username, reserve a school with six schollies in the same world as my current team (taking advantage of the discount) and blow my entire recruiting budget on FSS. That way I wouldn't have to spend a dime on scouting on my main ID which would give me an unfair advantage in recruiting.

But, I could be wrong...

2. Hiring and firing process, especially at D1. If you make it to a Big 6 job there should be minimum requirements to keep your job there. Fired? You get a credit ($5?) and it's back down to D2. D2 and D3 are pretty solid as far as jobs, although guys coming in and going 12-15 in D3 and then going up a level isn't necessarily good for the game.

You're probably right, clansing. It is a big disadvantage for first-time Coaches, though. If they struggle they're less likely to pay for another season, although some kind of discounted "Starter Pack" might have helped.

But, if you're a first-time Coach there is plenty of advice on the Forums, although you can't post unless you buy a full-price season. The advice is there. Thanks for the input.

You're not wrong, that's exactly why it's like that.
