What's causes a school's prestige to go up?

[gamemaster-2005]

Last year one of the NCAA developers posted blog explaining how to go up a grade and what caused schools to lose and gain stars. I had it booked marked but lost all my bookmarks on my computer. Does anyone happen to have it booked marked?

Dont know the exact numbers but it depends on how well you do each years.
Like if you finish in the top 25 for like 2 years your prestige will go up.
Also any time you win the championship your prestige goes up

After reading the list, share your thoughts with the community. Tomorrow we will feature the logic the team uses when deciding the Team Pitches out of the box. Click Read More to see Ben's info.


Academic Prestige – There is a percentage chance that this grade will go up or down a half letter grade each season. A team’s performance does not factor in to the pitch changes.

Campus Lifestyle – This pitch does not change, The Grove at Ole Miss will always be a great draw.

Coach Experience – This pitch has a small percentage chance of increasing every year. This one never decreases.

Coach Prestige – The ability to meet contract goals in an offline dynasty is the main factor in determining this pitch. For online dynasties that don’t have coach contracts, team prestige is used (i.e. better schools = better chance of moving up in prestige).

Conference Prestige – This is static for each conference, the team can only change their value by changing conferences.

Championship Contender/Fan Base/ Facilities/ Pro Factory – The team’s previous year’s performance (i.e. win/loss record, final rank, etc.) are the key factors that determine if this pitch goes up or down. Basically, it does nothing but help you to win your games

Program Stability – Changes are based on a combination of the coach’s prestige and current contract length in offline dynasties (team prestige in online dynasty)

Program Tradition – A high final ranking in the final polls compared to the current pitch value determines if there is a change in the pitch value.

Television Exposure – the more regionally and nationally televised games that are played (and more importantly won) are the main factor in determining a change to this pitch.

Team Prestige – Team Prestige changes are determined based on a school’s current prestige rating:

1-Star: If your final rank is better than 80th, you have a chance to move up.

2-Star : If your team has a bowl bid or finishes with a final ranking better than 60th, you have a chance to move up. If you finish worse than 100th, you have a chance to move down.

3-Star : If your team finishes worse than 75th, you have a chance to move down. If you finish better than 40th, you have a chance to move up.

4-Star : If your team has won a BCS bowl or finishes better than 20th, you have a chance to move up. If you miss a bowl or finish worse than 50th, you have a chance to move down.

5-Star : If your team has won the national championship or finishes with a final ranking better than 5th, you have a chance to move up. If you finish with a final ranking worse than 25th, you have a chance to move down.

6-Star : If you finish with a final ranking worse than 15th or win less than 8 games you have a chance to move down.

Don't be a dickweed. You can go 12-0, but if you get shunned in the ratings, there is obviously a bit to it than just winning, now isn't there? Same goes with playing a tough schedule. I've seen 2-loss teams in the top 10 because they play a hard schedule. But according to you, it's all wins wins wins!
