C) I need every player to remain on the team they were "recruited" to. This would be done by not allowing A.I. trades. Problem comes here:
1) I need Financials enabled to give more "recruit points" to the better teams. I don't want an amateur draft so the worst team gets the good players but rather no draft, then every rookie AKA "freshman" thrown into free agency for the teams to fight over.

Two ways I've handled this...
I've rigged financials to build powerhouse clubs. More money = more good players can be signed.
Or, you can manually alter the draft order. What I've done in the past is run the draft in reverse i.e. the team with the best record gets first pick, and the team with the worst record picks last each round. Keep in mind that you need to manually set this up every year - there is no default setting for this. Here's how to do it:

Draft Order
For inaugural and expansion drafts, the draft order is random. For first-year player and
Rule 5 drafts, teams draft in the opposite order of their finish in the previous year. The
order for first-year player drafts in the first year of a league is determined randomly.
The right side of the Draft Order & Rules page can be used by a commissioner to adjust
the order of the draft. To change the order, just choose teams from the drop-downs listed
to rearrange as needed. By default, changes to the order of the draft only affect the round
currently displayed. However, you can click the Use current order for all remaining
rounds to preserve your selected order throughout the draft. You can also use the
Random Draft Order to randomize the order.

Or, looking at the last line above, you could randomize the draft order every year. That would be easier -- just click a button. You wouldn't be rewarding strong teams that way though.
