Make draft pool school info editable in CSV

A small change that could make a huge difference for realism and immersion: please make school, commit school, high school/JuCo/college status, and draft year editable fields in the draft pool import/export CSV!

This simple improvement would make it possible for any user or users to build robust, accurate draft classes that any other user could deploy. I like to create more expansive and detailed real-life classes to use in-game (using Perfect Game, et al.), but those draft pools can’t currently be transferred from save to save, because draftees’ school info isn’t part of the CSV file. High school standouts become redshirt seniors; guys move from Vanderbilt to Southwest Central Wyoming State; and so forth. For me, it detracts enormously from the immersion — and fixing the CSV omission would provide a great opportunity for dedicated players to improve upon the game’s built-in draft classes (which, respectfully, are often missing a lot of prominent prospects, including first-round talents). If there’s any chance of making this change in ‘26, I would appreciate it immensely — perhaps others would as well.

Agree, more data always!

But a recent request was to have the school and age of the student matched. I have reported this before seeing a 22 year old high school player (HS should be maxed at 18 per me)
