The following list includes institutions evaluated under the countable opponents provisions of the  National Statistical Service (NAC Policy XXV, Section A, Item 12). This list only reflects those teams for which the NAIA National Office received countable opponent inquiries.

• The institution must be a four-year degree-granting institution.
• The opponent must be considered a varsity sport as defined by NAIA bylaws.
• The institution must meet one of the following:
  • Hold active or associate membership in the NAIA,
  • Hold membership in the Universities Canada, Canadian College Athletic Association, Canadian U Sports,
  • Hold membership, full or provisional, in the National Christian College Athletic Association, or
  • Accredited by one of the six regional accrediting bodies in the U.S. (Search for accreditation).
  • The New England Association of Schools & Colleges
