The number of scholarships increase. NAIA has fewer restrictions around recruiting so you'll have student athletes that maybe couldn't get accepted so many D2 schools. From a football perspective can say the level of play is fairly similar. The top D2 schools would beat most top NAIA Z schools, but they aren't that different. We have some of the top NAIA schools in indiana and they would likely beat the 1 D2 school (UIndy) who is often ranked in the top 20. The gap between the D2 abs NAIA schools up there is probably greater.
