Pipelines & Recruiting Identity

There is no out-of-pipeline tax — the old +40% out-of-pipeline NIL premium has been retired. Recruit anywhere; a recruit's NIL value is the same regardless of your pipeline regions.

Your program's pipeline regions still matter in-game (they make recruits in those regions easier to land), and they drive your program's recruiting-strength rating in the Legacy Manager app — but they are not a separate NIL cost. Class ranking tiers (T10 / T50 / T100) refer to national class rankings used in the NIL valuation tables below.
