Need to review dynasty pipelines

I know this a more minor issue than many other brought up here, but one that I would imagine would be incredibly easy to fix. There are some pipelines for schools that don't make very much sense.

Selfishly I'll bring up the one that has my attention, which is for JMU. JMU has one of the toughest recruiting situations in terms of pipelines (quantity and quality). Certainly not arguing with that, and most of the pipelines make sense.

Except for Indiana. There are no players from Indiana currently on the JMU roster. The school has no connection to Indiana other than the former head coach left JMU to take the head job at the U of Indiana. Many players followed him there, but that is the exact opposite of a pipeline. 

There are a few other pipelines that would make sense. The two in my opinion that make the most sense are Metro Atlanta and Pennsylvania, mainly due to number of GA and PA players currently on the roster. Also proximity is factor. In the case of Metro Atlanta, JMU posses Tidewater, North Carolina, and South Carolina; Metro Atlanta fits nicely geographically by extending that region. In the case of Pennsylvania, JMU possesses Tidewater and Big Apple; Pennsylvania fits nicely geographically between the two, filling in a whole in that region.

Also small other note. For some reason current NIL players (not recruits) from Delaware show a pipeline of New England instead of the correctly listing Tidewater.

If other people have similar comments about other schools maybe this could be a good thread to post that type of feedback.

  • I HATE that these pipelines are locked when there are many illogical ones.... You should be able to craft the pipelines you want by building your roster the way you want.

    The ONLY pipelines that should be locked are the ones attached to coaches. Here is how the breakdown should work:

    • HC/DC/OC Coach Pipeline -
      • all locked
      • level of pipeline scales with how many players on your roster are from that pipeline
    • School Proximity pipelines -
      • all locked (but for the love of god can we make them make sense? UMASS should not have NJ as A+ proximity while Massachusetts is a B+)
      • level of pipeline scales with how many players on your roster are from that pipeline
    • Roster breakdown pipelines
      • Each roster has a platinum, gold, silver and bronze pipeline purely tied to roster breakdown
      • level of pipeline scales with how many players on your roster are from that pipeline
