I think the most logical thing for them to do with Pipelines is tie them to coaches and assistant coaches (and thus, allow us to hire our own coaches instead of it being just whoever) instead of to the school itself.

I agree that schools should have pipelines based on their geographical location and their conference affiliations but it needs to be more than an 1 or 0 type setup. There needs to be shades of pipeline affiliations as well. Troy has a pipeline in Louisiana but it's not nearly as good of a pipeline as LSU's. Part of that is simulated by the schools having varying degrees of grades in other categories that the recruits are interested in, but the depth of it all could be better than what is currently happening in recruiting.
