There's also stony brook and Queens college that have huge easy to get to venues along with Brooklyn tech hs (team 334 i believe) I've been to their school and they have huge facilities. Again all of this id far off as I'm not sure if any of these places or teams would be willing but believe me 5 venues is possible. The Nassau coliseum is losing the ny islanders this year also and I'm sure they need events to fill the stadium up.

Easy to get is not the same as cheap. If you can find 5 or 6 appropriately sized venues, and run the whole event
for under $25,000 (see page 19), please get in touch with some planning committies.
The reason the majority of district events are held in high schools is not lack of availability of colleges - it's cost. The college events you see are funded in part by massive donations. It's a pretty tall order to rely on them entirely.
I'm not saying venue selection is impossible, but it'll definitely be harder than you seem to think it is.
