i've had several people back out of deals after i promote a school junior and been left with promoted juniors whom are high prog, but cannot prove it. in most cases, i was approached about a sale because my schools are public and i would never have promoted the junior without being approached.

key points:

- people want to purchase juniors still in school to confirm their progression

- most people keep their junior squad as full as possible to maximize training

- sellers are penalized more than buyers if the buyer backs out of a deal.

- there is moral hazard with regard to buyers and school juniors as there is no 'skin in the game' when it comes to negotiating a deal and asking a seller to promote his junior.

for people that back out of deals after a junior has been promoted - either there needs to be punishment or allow people to be purchased directly from schools so managers just trying to do their job dont get tricked by dishonest managers who fail to complete a sale.

have a 'SHOW ME THE MONEY' option, either establish a binding contract that a transfer agreement takes place on promotion, or some sort of formal promotion transfer.

OR

penalize people that lie about buying juniors. i have a list of about 4 people if you want.

i think a progression search for schools is a separate conversation all together
