Dynasty team dropping to true 0 star rating no matter what I do

Not sure if this is a bug, but I'm using Delaware in my dynasty and seemingly no matter what I do, after year 1 (before the transfer portal) I drop to a 0 star (not 0.5 star, but true 0). I've run tests where I've had a great recruiting class (51st overall) and a decent record with a bowl game appearance and no matter what I drop to a 0 star. Considering I've seen nothing online about what a true zero star team would get as far as hours go (315 preseason, 250 reg season btw), I thought it might be some sort of bug. Is it just the transfer portal settings? Any suggestions would be helpful
