What do you mean by close? There aren't enough college baseball programs in the immediate vicinity of Omaha to expect a lot of appearances from schools that are "close"

Nebraska
Kansas
Kansas St
Creighton
Wichita St
Missouri

That's about it. Wichita St used to make it to Omaha all the time. Nebraska did twice with Van Horn. It's hard to recruit kids to play in cold weather states to play baseball now.

If you extend "close" to meaning 6-7 hour drives, a lot of schools close do make it and frequently, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma St, for example. Oral Roberts this year, too.
