I believe that bowl money earned by a school, regardless of the coach should stay with the school. 
The new coach shouldn't be punished because they moved to a potentially better situation. I understand the original idea was the stop coaches from jumping from job to job but if that is the case then just adjust the rep impact and be done with it.

Also, keeping 100% is a horrendous idea. War chests were horrible and titled the game way too much. Keeping 25% is fine. 

The only thing that really needs to be changed about recruiting is that there should be only 1 official visit that costs a pretty penny. A campus visit for a recruit extremely close to your school will cost $800, there should be a difference between those visits and the official one should only be able to be used once and cost 3-4 times a normal one. Similar to real life since the school then pays for everything.

I really agree with pretty much all of this!

i like the idea of the "official visit"  limit schools to 3 of them total with each player getting 1 max from a school

I don't think the school should be regulated, but the player instead, also making it work with a schedule, in example: not going on more than one official each cycle.

How about having set number of campus visits during the during the season.  These recruits would most likely start out considering your school in their top 3.

I don't think the school should be limited to a certain number. But they should be limited to only 1 official per recruit. 
A recruit can take as many unofficial visits as they wish to a school but only one can be an official visit. I think that is how it should be in the game as well.
It would add just a little something extra to the recruiting game but not fully alter it.

Now we are making progress. If it's set up for a game, the outcome of the game should go together with the visit to add or take away from how the recruit felt.

Leave Recruiting Alone!

Recruiting sucks! Really can't stand recruiting at any level above DII, but I do it to play the game. I could be so much better!

Recruiting is one of the better parts of the game. Honestly DIII recruiting is about the same as DIAA and DIA. Each somewhat limits how far you can go and makes you manage your budget or fail.

And if we had full budget control, recruiting would get so much more better.

gameplay 1st
recruiting 2nd

and since we've seen how long it's taken gameplay to be worked on, I'm not too worried about recruiting being worked on.

We understand gameplay is first. I made this statement in the original post. Never too early to brainstorm. :)

I think WIS should do away with the bump in recruiting for elites, if you are at a elite you should know how to recruit. Let teams have a budget and hire asst. coaches that recruit during the season and give detailed reports, the more detailed the reports the higher the coaches would have to be paid from the team budget. Let some recruits have preferences such as favorite schools, wanting to stay close to home, which school would he have the best chance to start at immediately...lets put everyone on the same playing field to start....this will give all schools the same chance to be successful.

It has been asked several times to have any school be an elite based on success as opposed to the same schools all the time. If this was implemented than the bump would be based on merit and not racing to the elites first. Also need to make staying at an elite tougher. Other than that recruiting is fine in my opinion

Ive never had to drop down a  level at Dll.  Also at the lower levels, you dont have to keep on top of it like you do at 1a.  i would love to see many of these ideas implemented.  The way it is now its hard to recruit badly.
