The school code is old. It was going to be removed when skills came out, but instead left in because all the new players who didn't get those "free" stats would be at a disadvantage. It doesn't scale well.

Take a look at what a 4x multiplier does 6 months down the road on a stat that converts at 4 dev points to 1 career point. If you are getting on average 100 career points per day you are gaining roughly 50,000 dev points per month, or the equivalent of an active gym trainer's entire month. In 6 months you can take a stat from 1 to 56 through careers alone. This is what I am calling unbalanced.

Now if completing a upper-level school course gave you X career points, that would be more of what I was expecting. But that is getting away from simplicity, since I was hoping for dev points only.
