PABaseball posted:How do the Juco divisions work? Are they broken up by school size, quality of the program, funding, etc? I know all the local Jcs play each other regardless of division during the regular season with mixed results. How does a D3 JC do with a D1 typically?
I will chime in to get the conversation started, others will provide more detail for a productive back and forth.
Point 1 - there are 3 JUCO Organizations
D1 | D2 | D3 | Total | |||
NJCAA | National Junior College Athletic Association | 24 Regions | 174 | 131 | 95 | 400 |
CCCAA | California Community College Athletic Association | 11 conference | n/a | n/a | n/a | 88 |
NWAC | Northwest Athletic Conference | 4 conferences | n/a | n/a | n/a | 28 |
Here are some links to the NJCAA framework:

Note, Region 19 which covers NJ, DE and Eastern PA, consisting of D2 and D3 schools only, but like you know Gloucester, Cumberland, Mercer, Lackawanna, brookdale and many others field very competitive teams.
