So when i logged on this morning and he had no interest, i added one contact to see if it'd change, and it did not. So what gives?

This seemed a very strange statement to me and I am in hopes you can elaborate somewhat. It gives the impression a lower level teams interest level on a player is below that of a upper league teams.Or, as in this case, that a lower level team requires more contacts to reach the same level of displayed interest on a recruit as a upper league team. Is such the case?

Either you pulled the offer, or the bug seems to be that the system dropped the offer, so the interest drop isn't really the issue here.

That means, the team in V didn't have to spend anywhere near as many contacts to get the interest level up. Now if that team demotes, that means they should really only be as interesting as a team in VI that has used that many contacts (which would mean a player with medium interest should really only have low interest. Otherwise you could have a top tier team make a lot of contacts, and students would be interested in joining that team as if they were a top tier team, even if they later dropped down to DIV III. The students should react to the fact that this DIV I team is no longer DIV I. And they should lose interest.
