"Why should these things add up to being put at a disadvantage?"
In short, they don't.
"Why should you be not be encouraged to make the best team you can possibly make?"
In short, you aren't, you're just being asked to accept the risks involved.
I've always accepted the risks. I just think the penalty is absurdly high and vague (something like being pulled over for speeding in a car when they won't post the speed limit so you say go ride a bicycle instead to avoid getting a ticket).
I'll give your opinions more weight when you have 1/10th of the number of drafted players and/or NT wins. Until then, I'll file them away where I think they deserve to be...
"I just think the imaginary penalty is absurdly high and vague ..." Fixed that for you. There is no penalty, nothing is taken away from you, no W's are stricken from your record, you are not stripped of any scholarships, nothing, nada.
You have never heard my opinions on this. All I have done is elucidate both sides of an argument. I'll give your opinions all the weight they deserve.
Spud .. SOMETHING is taken away from them. 20 turns of 20 APs is taken away. Surely you can see that the opening is not showing up at the beginning of recruiting, right?
That means, you expect that coach with 2 regular and has 2 EEs go to somehow recruit for 4 spots with resources for 2 players.
I would go all in on 2 guys initially with APs, unlock recruiting actions and recruit them and then find some 'signing late' guys who I like and put some APs on them as well.
But you can not make up for those lost APs .. and you should not have to make up for them. Giving the APs retroactively back to the beginning of the recruiting year makes perfect sense and is absolutely fair.
If they did that, and if they added in one or two more days to the 2nd session recruiting, there would be (IMHO) no real issue with EEs.
And I do understand that there would be a trickle down effect on those extra APs .. in that some current guys will shift to the EE team, those D1 teams will have to take some guys from D2 and D3 coaches .. and some of the D2 coaches will then take some D3 coaches D1 or D2 recruits. But that's how it should be.
