I didnt say I would do the minimum years but I just wanted to know so Iget the idea of when Ican look at d1 schools. How many years does it take to make it to a big 6 school and should i start at a small conference or a medium conference like c-usa or mountain west?

It depends much more on success than number of years.

You can get to D2 as long as you have a pulse, from there you can get to low level D1 in probably 3-4 years if you made the NT in most of those years. You will only be eligible for small conference teams going that route. A few more seasons and you may qualify for some lower level mid tier conference teams like A10. If you want to go Big 6 from D2 you basically need to have a bunch of great D2 years, it won't happen if your goal is to jump quickly.

That being said, all veteran coaches beg of you to not rush to D1 and to take your time, spend several seasons in D3 learning the game before moving to D2, then spend a while there as well. Understand many coaches (myself included) prefer D2 or D3 to D1 as it is a totally different game up there. One of the biggest mistakes coaches make is jumping teams too often trying to always find the best team and easiest way to D1. 

alright that pretty much sums up what i was looking for. What should I choose a good d3 team but have to make lateral or d2 team. I dont want to stay at my d3 school because i think my team wont do good next year and i kind of want to try something new but thanks for the great answer.

Well thing is, if you don't take time and rebuild a not good team yourself you will never really learn what it takes, and odds are you'll have to do that in D2 and you almost for sure will have to in D1.

Lots of coaches jump teams everytime they are about to have a bad year, which normally means they took over a good team, recruited poorly for a year or two and then left once the old coach's players were gone. It's a bad way to learn the game.

You may not be ready to jump to D2 yet if you aren't able to recruit your own team, but if your goal is to just keep moving up then D2 is the way to do it. My recommendation though is to stick it out, talk to some vets, see how to improve your team and spend the seasons it takes doing so. It'll set you up for better jobs and make it so if you can't get a good job you can still do well at a bad school. There is a lot of pride out of taking over a terrible team and turning them to A+ prestige over time.

Alright thanks i can site mail the team im looking to move up to if you want to judge if im making a good choice.

If you are going to switch jobs you should wait a few cycles in the job change period. You will see teams open up that were human controlled, those are almost always better jobs to walk into than sim controlled teams.
