it is possible to jump directly into the big 6, i've been qualified for B prestige big 6 schools for most of my recent career. definitely not the fastest way to get there though. i personally would stay in d2 until you can pick up a quality d/d+ school at least (meaning many of the returning players are suitable, not anything to do with the conference or baseline prestige)


I have done this also, but you have to have a lot of success at your D2 school and it helps if you've had a lot of success for a long period of time.

Unfortunately, you don't have that in your current program, so the best you are looking at are D or D- schools in some pretty weak confrences... Your choices add up to either jumping to one of those schools (not the worst since they are mostly ghost and give you a better shot at moving where you want) or sticking it out at Lock Haven (which could take just as long concidering your current and past success). Making the NT might get you up to a solid D school, but in general you've got just as far to go at Lock Haven as a new school, you are losing most of your decent players this year on a very average team.
