I was mainly saying now...in '74 it was different. But I see what you're saying. If you look at D2 schools now most are smaller and they couldn't meet the requirements of D1...nor could they compete in D1.
what exactly are the requirements for D1?
i know wake forest has like 4-5,000 students so I assume student body size doesnt necessarily affect it
There are no DII teams in the game, so I have no idea why this is being asked in here.
As far as in real life though, yes they can be moved up, but they have to go through a process that takes multiple years. Happens more in college basketball though than it does in football.
