[edit] History, Background and Reorganization Cal Poly, North Dakota State , Northern Colorado, South Dakota State , Southern Utah , and UC Davis began conference play in the Great West Football Conference in 2004. St. Mary's (CA) was slated to join the conference, but dropped football prior to the 2004 season. In 2005 Cal Poly was the conference's first participant in the NCAA Div. I-AA (now FCS) playoffs.
Northern Colorado left the GWFC to join the Big Sky Conference for all sports for the 2006 season. On March, 7, 2007, North Dakota State and South Dakota State announced that they would leave the conference after the 2007 season and join the Missouri Valley Football Conference in 2008.[1] On August 2, 2007 the University of North Dakota and the University of South Dakota announced that they would be joining the Great West Conference in 2008. On July 10, 2008 it was made official in press conferences that the conference would change from a football only conference into an all sports conference. The charter members of the all-sports conference include North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah Valley University, Houston Baptist, Texas-Pan American, and NJIT.[2] Other possible conference members include Seattle and Chicago State.[3]

I have coached at both the NAIA and D2 levels. There are very good players at each level, but the NAIA is not as well funded or governed. The NAIA basically allows schools to self regulate. This means a school has to turn themselves in for violations. This is why Willie Williams is playing at Union College and is eligible. You may remember he was the top HS linebacker in the country about six or seven years ago and signed with Miami. He had been arrested several times, and got into some trouble at Miami. He ended up at a juco, then at Louisville where he was dismissed from the team. He transferred to D2 Glenville State last spring, and was deemed ineligible this fall during 2-a-days. He transferred to Union where he was immediately eligible. Even though classes had already been going for a week at Glenville before he transferred, Union certified him and he is eligible. The NAIA also has non-binding letters of intent, meaning a player can sign and still go anywhere he wants. The letter is more symbolic. I know of one kid who signed with five different schools. There have been some prominent NAIA players in the NFL. Christian Okoye played at Azusa Pacific then had a long NFL career. DeeDee Dorsey is with the Bengals, and he played at Lindenwood. I think he is on IR right now, but he has made some impact plays.
The NAIA allows schools to give 24 scholarships. Of course, the 24 rule applies only to those players who are on the active gameday roster. This means some schools have more and there are other NAIA schools who might give only 5 or 6 scholarships total. Many NAIA schools depend on football for enrollment.
As far as competition the top 5 NAIA schools would be competitive with a lot of D2's, but would not be able to beat the top D2 schools. This isn't to take anything away from NAIA football. The NAIA has some very good programs. Carroll, Sioux Falls, and St. Francis could be very competitive at the D2 level. Beyond that, many NAIA schools would be lucky to win one game in the MIAA, going against the likes of Pitt State, Northwest Missouri, UNO, Central Missouri, Washburn, Missouri Southern, etc. The same goes for NAIA schools playing in the Lone Star or Gulf South.
Here is the biggest factor: When a kid is choosing a college, forget about whether the school is NAIA or D2 or D3. Look at 3 things: How will you fit in academically, athletically, and socially? Then, consider the financial aspect. If you are getting a $15,000 a year scholly to an NAIA that costs $30,000 a year, but you are being sought after by a very good D3 that costs $8,000 a year, that scholly doesn't have much value. There is great football at each of these levels, and there are great coaches at each level. As far as the NFL, they will scout NAIA schools, but unless the kid is a superstar he won't drafted. He will, however, get a shot.
I hope this hasn't come as a knock to NAIA football. There is some great ball with some great players. NAIA is a very viable option for kids, but D2 is flat out a higher level of football.
As far as D3 schools not offering scholarships, this means nothing. There are a ton of very, very good D3's. Don't let a lack of scholarship money fool you, there are many very good D3 leagues. The league with Mt. Union is awesome as is the Wisconsin league. The leagues in Iowa and Minnesota are also very good.
