This should be easy to document if it's really a problem or not. Somebody should do a random sampling of awareness ratings from the default roster for freshmen and seniors, then sim a few years, do the same random sampling, and see how it ends up. Probably the best would be:

Sample freshman and seniors on the default roster - GROUP 1F & 1S
Sim three years (to get the default freshman upgraded to seniors)
Sample again in the same quantity (thinking at least 100 random players from assorted teams) - GROUP 2F & 2S
Sim one more year
Sample one last time, this time just the seniors (to get CPU-generated recruits as seniors) - GROUP 3S

Calculate averages and voila. If there's a drop of more than 5-6 points between any two continuous groups (meaning 1F to 2F, 1S to 2S, or 2S to 3S), that's a significant issue.

If no one else does this I'd be willing to try it. It's a fair amount of work but it would give us some real insight into the game, rather than just impressions.
