Hello! Thank you so much for playing! To be honest, I don't think there are college bands to this extent in ANY country ha ha... it's a bit exaggerated.
I would have made the stars all used automatically, but the issue is that you can save stars for future turns - you don't have to use them all immediately. If they were clicked on automatically, you wouldn't be able to save stars for later.
However, in future versions I'll make sure to give more time for the player to make their decision, that way there's less of a rush to click through the menus!
