Although it is true that going the VA/GA route is the fastest way into the P5 conferences, it is not impossible to make your way through the ranks of DIII, mid major D1 or any of the other levels if you do spend time developing kids (where most development actually happens) and spend time making the right connections at meets, conventions, educational courses and so on.
It may be a longer process but a lot of coaches from the MAC who do a good job move up to P5 conference schools and there are a decent amount of coaches from DIII that have made their way up as well.
True. Meant to include "...the fastest way way to a Power Five job..." at the beginning.
