Real quick off the top of my head two main reasons are

1. Prestige - being an NCAA school sounds better than NAIA school. I played NAIA

2. Insurance - I don't know the specifics but the NCAA provides a better insurance for their member schools than NAIA.

My best friend is a vice president of a NAIA university and they are in the process of moving up to probably DII because of scholarships being offered instead of DIII where they are not. In your situation the better question is why not go ahead and move up to DII instead of DIII.
