It is very easy already to "collude" on which players you will pursue with other teams and share data about # of Contacts (also "private" information).

Its been in place for a couple seasons now. But only lower level teams with good rosters are really effected. Also, you have to be recruiting one of these guys who cares about playing time, so the majority of players haven't been impacted yet. I have a few guys on my recruiting board who were poisoned by playing time after recruiting them at high interest for a couple seasons. Its actually a little surprising more people haven't run into the issue. But I suppose a lot of the folks posting did take high LL teams.

Competing with 75% of the knowledge isn’t a great play. The ncaa games are fine for single player mode, but this really isn’t that

Low, Near Medium, Medium, Near High, High, Super High. That way, you will have a better grasp of how high is the value of 1 contact to that recruit.

If you do not take part in collusion when private info is in the game, you are basically giving up on 25% of your information. Competing with 75% of the knowledge isn’t a great play. So we can all assume that you have been colluding with people about contacts. Good to know. Steve, can you do something about his cheating?
