I go to the smallest football playing d2 school in the country, Newberry (SC) College. A lot of our players are d1 transfers. We played a hard schedule this year, Valdosta State was the defending champs, Carson-Newman, and Tusculum in the conference. We finished in a three way tie for first place in the conference. The school has just over 900 students, and when I watched the championships on tv, I could not believe how big some of those schools are. The average enrollment for d2 is 4,600 students. web1.ncaa.org/web_files/DII_MC_PC/Miscellaneous/2008-09_Facts_Figures_November_2008.pdf

This is what I would compare NAIA to. It is like 3A football in Texas High School ball. Would the best teams in the state be able to compete with some 4A (Division 2) teams? yes. Would the best teams in the state in 2A (Division 3) be able to compete whith some 3A schools? yes. Are the lines a little fuzzy about who is the best division? Yes. NAIA is not D2 ball - not the same. NAIA is not D3 ball - it is somewhere in between.
