Program Philosophy
Your Program Philosophy is your recruiting identity, and it does one mechanical thing: it splits the Talent-Acquisition share between high school and the transfer portal.
| Philosophy | HS / Portal |
|---|---|
| 🌱 Developmental | 80 / 20 |
| 🏆 Recruit & Retain | 70 / 30 |
| ⚖️ Balanced (default) | 60 / 40 |
| 🔀 Hybrid | 50 / 50 |
| 🚪 Portal Program | 33 / 67 |
There is no best answer. Developmental at a rebuild and Portal Program on a hot seat are both correct. Pick the program you are trying to become, and let it make the hard call in February.
Changing it: by default your philosophy is a free calculator — switch it on My Hub any time and watch the split move. A commissioner may instead run committed mode, where philosophies lock in for several seasons once the league begins its season. My Hub tells you which mode your league runs and whether you are locked.
