If the NBBA is the show then in my book D2-D3-D4 etc are like the college ranks

D2 is the power conferences, your Big-12's, ACC's etc

D3 is the mid majors, the Missouri Valley etc

D4 is a combination of the lower end of division one ball AKA Southern, SWAC, Big South etc and division two aka CIAA etc

D5 is division three, non scholarship

D6 is like the NAIA, existing but essentially forgotten

Now in terms of my personal league (III.9) I would say the A-10, lots of older established programs

I would say my league is the American Athletic Conference (The American) with former big name teams like Cincinnati, Louisville and Connecticut, along with smaller colleges like Temple, SMU, UCF and USF.

II.4 is like if Florida (my team) joined the increasingly erroneously-named Big Ten.

SWAC swag! I'm not even talking about the South Western... I'm talking Scenic West. Yep... it's that bad.

BB athletes are paid and play in professional leagues. I think a better comparison for lower divisions would be foreign leagues (Euroleague, China CBA, Spanish ACB, Canada NLB, Mexico LNBP, etc.). You could even throw in the NBA D-League.

this is true, but then again they are actually chattel because these guys have no free will. But the comparison I was seeking to make was in terms of flavor that they feel best represents their league.

Plus Weber State (Damian Lillard), and Sac State, along with a few others. Mid Major conference, good college comparison for D-5/D-6 leagues.
