Mine started at B+ and dropped to B as a TB team. Stanford's is down to a B+.

That is absolutely absurd. Stanford is a B+!?!?! Way to go EA on that one.

Fact is, academic prestige on this game is terrible. The grades for most schools are WAY too high...especially when you compare to the Dukes & Stanfords of the world.

In no way, shape, or form should the football program have anything to do with the academic prestige of a school such as Stanford going down.

In my opinion academic prestige should be locked in. PERIOD.

Exactly. The myth that football harms -- or in this game, absurdly improves -- an institution's reputation is just that, a myth.

IF it did change, you should trade practice or player training for an improved academics

To expand on that last thought. Through the dynasty school properties change as your school progresses. You should instead get bowl/tv/conference money and the freedom to use it as you please. Academics, stadium, coaching, training facilities, recruiters. Each school would really take on the identity of its leader.

Your asking for too much...

We'll instead see "Be a referee" type of mode where you can dictate games by a single call!

I'll follow the lead of the AI and call Clipping on every single punt return that I see a possible block in the back. No one shall return the punt on my watch.

Decent idea...but I still don't think that the football program should have anything to do with academics.

It would be cool to see players GPA & SAT scores though. Have certain standards for the good academic schools. Won't ever see it though.
