House rules on cutting players?

[ALG]

Does anyone here have house rules on cutting players? I was trying to come up with a few myself to maybe make my dynasty slightly more difficult and I was also hoping that if I cut a few players, maybe some players would transfer to my school or something. The only house rule that came to my mind and I liked was cutting two or three players at the end of every season with the lowest awareness. I'm just not sure if that rule would help or hurt my team overall, because I don't know if I would like cutting a starter if a starter was one of those players.

What is everyone's house rule(s) on cutting players from the team at the end of the season?

My house rule is that I don't over recruit (I can only offer enough recruits to give me 70 total) and I never cut anyone.

Interesting, I have tried to not over recruit before, but I just can never go through with it. Nothing wrong with how you recruit though, just can never do it myself for whatever reason. It's fascinating to me how different players have different house rules depending on how they play the game.

I always cut any player that is automatically added that I didn't offer a scholarship. Even with recruiting assistance turned off, the CPU will sometimes add players to your class. Most of the time they're low rated players, but occasionally they are decent to good players, and they must go regardless.

I didn't mention it, but I cut all of these guys too.

I am the same as jello... I try not to over recruit. I only recruit up to 70 but I do recruit two extra recruits in case someone transfers or leaves for the draft. If I have to cut someone, it's at most 2 players. This makes me be more mindful of who I need to recruit and allows me to get more quality players than quantity.

I do the following

1. never cut seniors
2. never cut anyone who would legitimately be on the 2 deep roster (3 deep at positions like RB/QB)
3. only ever cut freshmen (RS freshmen included) if there are no other upper classmen left to cut that don't match the first two criteria

The reason for this is to self-simulate having players that practice only actually quit the team and to regulate the amount of convenience cutting I can perform. If there are sophomores and juniors I want on my roster that aren't in the 2-deep, then the restriction on not being able to cut freshmen of any kind first is a nice little incentive to not over recruit.

Like most, I try not to over-recruit. If I do, however, I only cut fifth-year seniors. Teams in real life often lose fifth year seniors as it's possible they may have graduated and left school. Makes it difficult, you may have to cut some quality players.
