It's a great idea in theory, but EA's attempt at it in the past failed HORRIBLY. There is no way a school, with the best of the best of disciplined players in the game, should be getting hit with penalties after only the first season of a dynasty simply because the game decided to make 20 of their players get in trouble during the season and use up all of those 2/3rds of the points you had allocated towards discipline (leaving you with very little points to use for training and recruiting) by week 6 or 7 of the season.

If EA can fix that horrible train wreck of a disaster and actually make it a viable system that the game doesn't abuse you with, then I wouldn't mind seeing it possibly make a return. But only if they actually make it work and not be some cheap piece of junk that screws over every team in college football by the end of the 1st season.
I definitely agree. The way they had it back then sucked greatly, but I think after 4-5 years they can think of ways to use it a lot better.

I think if they tied the prestige of the school along with coach prestige (another reason for real coaches), which can influence how a player acts, at least in a video game, then it has the potential to add another touch of realism. But it shouldn't have any type of point system involved.
