I'm very detailed oriented on the rosters for classic teams myself
So personally i agree that the players should have the correct colleges, gear and somewhat reasonable ratings when you agree to do these types of rosters.
But i also understand the time frame it takes to complete such a task which is why I haven't moved forward yet in creating classics teams since Madden 25.
The roster creator may not have the time and patience to get every detail done....
So, I would suggest just grabbing the rosters yourself and modifying them to your liking since the majority of the work has already been done for you....
