Nah. Siena would want at least one or two New York City area rivals. Getting ‘Cuse at home sounds fun, but not if they’re always in the way of a tourney bid.

RE: NAIA-style districts for NCAA Division I schools
Loved the old NAIA districts. 32 districts, 32 automatic bids to the NAIA national basketball tournament in Kansas City. Had to win 5 games in 6 days to win the national championship. If you had a great team but lost in your district tournament, you stayed home. Rivalries were fierce.

A good chunk of those schools are now in the NCAA, scattered across Divisions I, II, and III. The NAIA is a shadow of its former self, but is bouncing back. It offers small schools a chance to have a lower budget athletic program with a limited number of sports and a limited amount of scholarships. I wish them well.

Naia districts were assigned, not what a school "wanted" lol.

But many, many Naia schools have HUGE numbers of sports and virtually unlimited scholarships in the way the Ncaa would count them.

RE: NAIA-style districts for NCAA Division I schools
District only bids sucked, and that's why they changed. It wasn't unusual for 2 top 5 teams to beIN the same district, but only 1 got to go to KC.

RE: NAIA-style districts for NCAA Division I schools
To do this right, we also need to assign each school the high schools closest to them geographically, and only allow them to recruit athletes from those high schools. Of course, there would have to be rules preventing parents from moving for the purpose of getting assigned to the "right" university.

RE: NAIA-style districts for NCAA Division I schools
CofC was in the NAIA throughout the 80s. They won a national title during this time in 1983. They made it every year but one from ‘83 to ‘89.

CofC’s district, District 6, basically had all the SC schools playing basketball except for Carolina, Clemson, Furman, Citadel, Baptist College (now Charleston Southern) and SC State. It was very competitive.

Presbyterian, USC Spartanburg (now USC Upstate), Coastal Carolina, USC-Aiken, Francis Marion, Winthrop, Newberry, Erskine, Lander, Voorhees, Allen all played with CofC in this league. Limestone, Claflin, Coker, Morris, Central Wesleyan and Wofford also played there at one time.

The year CofC won the national title, District 6 had 16 teams in their district make the playoffs. They had to win four games in the district tourney just to get in, then the 6 games in the national tourney.

They’d play those games, then Baptist and Citadel (usually twice a year), add in a few non-con games, and that’d be who they play each year.

At one point, NAIA District 6 was 18 teams, and NC’s district (District 26) was 21 teams.

I remember when College of Charleston won the NAIA national championship!

Yes, the districts were primarily based on state lines. District 9 in Oklahoma had as many as 17 teams. District 10 in Kansas had even more. There were usually multiple conferences in each district, but postseason was determined through the district. Each district determined its own qualification system to qualify for the postseason tournament. For example, our district used the Dunkel ratings most years. It was funky.

Yes, good teams had to stay home from the national tournament, and that is why the system had to be changed. The old system made for higher stakes and intense local rivalries, but at-large bids increased the quality of the national tournament and rewarded quality teams.

Just finished updating my original post, and yes, the Ivy League remains the same. Though you would've noticed in the first 6 districts or so.

A lot of districts were huge but had separate DI and DII qualifiers for some of the years.

Yeah, RIP Southern. Looking over the fence at all the fun in District 13 while they're stuck in 12.

Generally curious, since I'm not familiar, but what is/was the criteria for NAIA districts?

NAIA districts were driven solely by geography. There was no hard cap on number of schools in a district. They mostly kept all schools within a certain state together. As mentioned in the example above, the SC district had 16 schools, while the NC district had upwards of 21 schools. Generally, all of the schools within one state were in one district, except for cases where there were few NAIA schools in a state. Some states with fewer NAIA schools were combined.

There were conferences in this system, as well. A district could have multiple conferences. However, playoff qualification was channeled through the districts.

The NAIA no longer operates under a district system, but solely with conferences.

In the old days, only district champions qualified for the NAIA national tournament. If there were two highly ranked teams that happened to be in the same district, only one advanced. The district system was dumped in favor of a conference qualification system with automatic and at-large bids.

RE: NAIA-style districts for NCAA Division I schools
The top 16 teams would get seeded into the event, then there would be the rest of the teams. In ‘83, a district champ was kicked out, so West Virginia Wesleyan took their place even though they didn’t win their district.

Starting this year (2020-21, if there is a season), the NAIA championships will be expanded to 64, but only the winners of the 16 regional sites will play in Kansas City.

The NAIA was 32 teams as far back as 1938 in KC, before the NCAAs even started.

Nobody I've talked to is in favor of the new format, including me. But I admit it has potential. Their goal is for the opening round tournaments to be hosted by local organizers, not schools, in nice arenas and attract big crowds. They have that so far in 2 locations in the Kansas area and one in Alexandria LA. They've got a ways to go. The key will be on if they follow through on making sure top local teams aren't placed into the same region. When the plan came out they were committed to that. Recently, because of COVID 19, they are waffling. On more sports than basketball. The baseball coaches rebelled and found a way to get them to recommit to the original plan. I hope the others do too.

A 27-team District 3 and a 3-team District 11 seems kind of silly.
