There is no such distinction in college baseball. That's a "phootball" phenomenon.
That's not correct Pepster. The Ivy league and the Patriot League are D1-AA in all sports. These schools are high academics and no athletic money only need based financial aid. Patriot league does have some academic money. Your talking 1300 and higher SAT scores and GPA's of 3.5 and higher. they play out of conference D1-A schools all the time.
Actually Prepster is correct.
I know for a fact that the Ivy league in baseball is D1 NOT D1-AA.

Prepster is correct, so is Frank
BB25, you may remember Harvard won the Ivy League automatic bid and played in the Fullerton Regional
Back to the original post, I found this:
Why it is called I-AA
On August 1, 1973 the NCAA's membership was divided into three legislative and competitive divisions at the first special Convention ever held. All major schools were reclassified as Division I and other schools were divided into Divisions II and III. Roman numerals were chosen to be used rather than the Arabic 1, 2, 3. Five years later, Division I members voted to create subclassifications I-A, I-AA, and I-AAA for the sport of football. The major difference (at this point) besides sponsorship is the amount of scholarships allotted. I-A gets 85, I-AA gets 63, and I-AAA is for institutions that do not sponsor football. Only NCAA Division I is divided into subclassifications and ONLY in the sport of football.

Just to add my 2 cents, FrankF is righter than right....Army won the Patriot the last two years...with automatic bids to the LSU regional last year and FSU regional this year.
