How Your Budget Is Earned
Your Dynasty-Point (◆) budget is earned, not handed to you by tier. It is the sum of your four school-grade point values: Conference Prestige, Brand Exposure, Stadium Atmosphere and Program Tradition.
Two programs on the same star rating can run very different budgets, because the budget follows what a program has actually built. Your live total and your unspent balance are on My Hub.
Three things follow:
- It funds everything — coaching staff, facilities, retention and recruiting all come out of the same pool.
- It resets at the end of every season. Unspent points do not roll forward, so hoarding is waste, not saving.
- Last season's retentions are already charged against it — see Player Retention in 🏟️ Roster & Position Changes.
