You could also just get rid of 'Very High' and make it High, High+, and High++ (and maybe space them out more) so that it is consistent with the other levels. If you want to go that route I would make that change during a season flip. Lastly - if people think that Very High is it's own level that is on them. It is clear in the rules as well as multiple discussions in the forum that 'Very High' is a subset of 'High'. Updated Friday, October 2 2020 @ 6:49:38 am PDT

Having the "+++" makes it seem that there is another level to achieve more than a "Very High" designation. Game Manual is clear on this Although, I did see a note in the game manual on verbal commitments. Has anyone actually ever achieved that? Assuming that is different from a prospect committing to your school

If you change it to high+++ it doesn't correspond with other levels with only ++ status and even if that's the last level it looks uncomplete. But hey, whatever will be fine for me in the end.
