To my knowledge Kettering University and Grand Valley State University are the only two Universities hosting Districts, and it's mostly because both had hosted events (in-season and/or off-season) prior to the switch to districts and still wanted to be involved in the program. Ironically, Kettering is actually one of the more crowded events (when at full capacity) that I've been to, because the pits, "cafeteria", field, and seating (which they have to bring in because the site doesn't have any built-in) all have to fit in one moderately-sized gym.

FiM doesn't really pursue a lot of events on College/University campuses because such venues usually charge a fee to rent the space, where as most High Schools do not, or if they do it's substantially lower.
