The Colonial Athletic Clan (CAA) is a collegiate athletic conference affiliated with the NCAA'due south Division I whose full members are located in Due east Coast states from Massachusetts to Southward Carolina. Virtually of its members are public universities, and the conference is headquartered in Richmond. The CAA was historically a Southern conference until the addition of four schools in the Northeast (of five that joined from rival conference America East) after the turn of the 21st century, which added balance to the briefing.

The CAA was founded in 1979 every bit the ECAC South basketball league. It was renamed the Colonial Able-bodied Association in 1985 when information technology added championships in other sports (although a number of members maintain ECAC affiliation in some sports). As of 2006, it organizes championships in 21 men's and women'south sports. The addition of Northeastern University in 2005 gave the conference the NCAA minimum of vi football programs needed to sponsor football. For the 2007 football season, all of the Atlantic 10 Conference's football programs joined the CAA football game conference, equally agreed in May 2005.

The conference most recently added Hampton University, Monmouth University, North Carolina A&T Land University, and Stony Brook Academy in 2022. Stony Brook, already a member of the CAA football league, volition join in other sports at that time; Hampton and Monmouth will bring together for all sports, including football; and NC A&T volition join for not-football sports in 2022 and football in 2023.^{[1] [2]}

History [edit]

The CAA has expanded in recent years, following the exits of longtime members such as the United States Naval University, the University of Richmond, East Carolina University, and American Academy. In 2001, the six-fellow member conference added four boosted universities: Towson University, Drexel Academy, Hofstra Academy, and the Academy of Delaware. Four years subsequently the league expanded again when Georgia Country University and Northeastern University joined, farther enlarging the conference footprint. Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) left for the Atlantic 10 Conference in July 2012.^[3] More than changes came in 2013: Old Dominion Academy left for Conference USA,^[iv] Georgia State joined the Sun Belt Conference,^[five] and the College of Charleston joined the CAA from the Southern Conference.^{[half dozen]}

On the playing field, the CAA has produced xvi national team champions in half dozen dissimilar sports (the most recent being the James Madison University Dukes who won the 2018 Division I Women's Lacrosse championship), 33 private national champions, 11 national coaches of the year, 11 national players of the year and 12 Honda Honour winners. In 2006, George Mason became the first CAA team to reach the Concluding Four. In 2011, the VCU Rams became the second CAA team to reach the Final 4, also every bit the outset team to win five games en route, due to their participation in the First 4 round.

On March 25, 2013, George Mason University left the CAA to bring together the Atlantic 10 Conference.^[7] Soon subsequently, the CAA ceased sponsorship of wrestling due to the lack of teams.

The 2015–16 basketball flavor saw the conference RPI accomplish its highest rating when it finished the season ranked ninth in the nation.

During another phase of realignment that started in 2021, the CAA was afflicted when longtime member James Madison Academy announced it would get out the CAA, transition its football program to the Football Bowl Subdivision, and join the Sun Belt Conference. Initially, JMU was to join the Sun Chugalug in July 2023.^[8] Notwithstanding, the timeline changed when the CAA chose to ban JMU from subsequent title events, citing a conference bylaw that allows it to impose such a ban on a departing member. Thus, JMU will officially join the Sun Chugalug in July 2022 instead (at which time information technology will be counted as an FBS member for scheduling purposes after meeting an NCAA minimum requirement of five FBS opponents at dwelling house), housing all of its sports in that league, including men's soccer, which would exist sponsored by the Sun Belt once more, simply ane flavour earlier.^{[9] [10]}

Shortly before JMU announced its departure, it was reported that the CAA sought to aggrandize by several schools, allowing it to split into a divisional format for near of its sports in social club to reduce travel costs for its members. Amid the schools named as possible candidates were Fairfield University, Howard University, Monmouth University, and the Academy of North Carolina at Greensboro.^{[11] [12]} In Jan 2022, reports emerged that Hampton University, a historically black institution that had been working toward a CAA move since at least 1995, would likely join the CAA that July. Monmouth was once again named every bit a potential CAA expansion candidate. Also, Stony Brook University, already a member of the CAA football league, was named as a candidate for total membership.^[13] On January eighteen, local media in Monmouth'due south dwelling of New Bailiwick of jersey reported that a CAA invitation to that school was imminent.^[14]

The CAA later announced on January 25 that Hampton, Monmouth, and Stony Beck would become full members, including football game, that July.^[fifteen] On February 22, the CAA appear that N Carolina A&T would join for not-football sports that July and football in 2023.^[two]

Notes

1. ^ Equestrianism is part of the NCAA Emerging Sports for Women program, just the national championship is sanctioned by the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association and not the NCAA. While several conferences be under the IHSA umbrella, the NCAA treats all women's equestrian teams that do not compete within a recognized NCAA briefing as independents.
2. ^ Sailing is a coeducational sport sanctioned past the Intercollegiate Sailing Association and not the NCAA.
3. ^ Squash is a coeducational sport that is not sanctioned past the NCAA.
4. ^ Triathlon is part of the NCAA Emerging Sports for Women program, but the national championship is sanctioned past the sport's national governing body, U.s.a. Triathlon, and not the NCAA. No NCAA conference in whatever partition currently sponsors this sport.
5. ^ Delaware plays women's water ice hockey at club level in the ACHA, but treats this society as a varsity squad.
6. ^ ^{a b c d} None of the four schools joining the all-sports CAA in 2022 have announced a future indoor track amalgamation. Presumably, all volition join the ECAC aslope the other CAA members.

In add-on to the above, Charleston counts its female cheerleaders (though not its male cheerleaders) and all-female trip the light fantastic team equally varsity teams. Neither cheerleading nor dance team competitions are sponsored past the NCAA.

The CAA Football Briefing was formed in 2005, although it did not begin play until 2007, every bit a separate conference independent of the CAA, merely administered by the CAA front office. For this reason, there are no true "football associate members" equally every member of CAA Football game is a total-member of the football-just conference. In the 2004–05 academic year, the CAA had v fellow member schools that sponsored football, all of them as football game-only members of the Atlantic 10 Conference (A10). In 2005, as previously noted, Northeastern accepted the CAA's offer of membership, giving the CAA the six football-playing members it needed under NCAA rules to organize a football briefing. At that time, the CAA announced it would launch its new football conference in 2007. Next, the CAA invited the University of Richmond to become a football-only member effective in 2007. In one case UR accepted the offer, this left the A10 football conference with but five members, less than the six required under NCAA rules. As a result, the remaining A10 football programs all decided to join the CAA on a football-but footing, spelling the end of A10 football, at least under that conference's banner. Since the CAA football briefing had the same members as the A10 the previous twelvemonth, it tin can be said that the CAA football conference is the A10 football conference nether new direction.

The CAA football conference's earliest roots are in the New England Briefing, founded in 1938 by four state-supported universities in that region plus Northeastern; three of the public schools are currently in the CAA football game briefing. After the departure of Northeastern in 1945, the remaining members joined New England'due south other state-grant colleges, Massachusetts Land College (now the University of Massachusetts) and the University of Vermont, to form the Yankee Conference under a new charter in 1946, with competition starting in 1947. That conference somewhen dropped all sports other than football in 1975. Starting in the 1980s, information technology expanded to include many schools outside its original New England base. After the NCAA voted to limit the influence of single-sport conferences, the Yankee merged with the A10 in 1997. Equally mentioned above, the A10 football game conference finer became the CAA Football game Briefing in 2007.

The CAA Football Briefing does non claim the legacy of the A10 Football game Conference or the Yankee Conference. Still, every schoolhouse that was in the Yankee Conference at the time of the A10 merger and still fields an FCS-level football team (nine out of the concluding 12 members of the Yankee Conference) is in the CAA football game conference. As further proof of the continuity between conferences, the CAA inherited the A10's automated bid to the FCS playoffs, which in plow was inherited from the Yankee.

On May 31, 2006, Old Dominion Academy announced that it would first a football squad to brainstorm play in 2009.^[21] ODU joined the CAA football briefing in 2011.^[22] On April 17, 2008, Georgia Country Academy appear that it would start a football game squad to begin play in 2010 and join the CAA football conference in 2012.^[23] The team is playing in the lxx,000 seat Georgia Dome, but is restricting ticket sales to just over 28,000 for near all its games. However, GSU played only the 2012 flavour in the CAA, and was not eligible for the briefing title, equally it began an FBS transition in advance of its 2013 motility to the Sun Belt Briefing.^[5]

Since the CAA began play as a football conference in 2007, a member team has played in the FCS Championship game seven times, with Delaware making it in 2007 and 2010, Richmond in winning in 2008, Villanova winning in 2009, Towson actualization in 2013, and James Madison winning in 2016 and appearing in 2017. In 2007, the CAA set records with xv national histrion of the week honorees and by sending five teams to the national championship playoffs. The very side by side flavor, in 2008, they broke that tape with 19 national player of the week honorees and tied their own tape past again sending five teams to the national championship playoffs for the 2d straight year. At the end of the 2008 flavor, the CAA had 6 Peak 25 teams with four placing in the Top Ten. Players from the CAA received 78 All-America honors.

In the opening weekend of the 2009 flavor, CAA teams defeated three Division I FBS teams. William & Mary and Richmond took down teams from the ACC (one of the half-dozen conferences whose champions receive automated Bowl Title Series berths), respectively Virginia and Duke, while Villanova defeated Temple from the MAC. The following weekend saw New Hampshire defeat another MAC team, Ball State (which had gone through the previous regular season unbeaten, just ended 2009 two–x). All four of the CAA teams to defeat FBS teams qualified for the 2009 FCS playoffs and won their get-go-round games; Villanova and William & Mary reached the semifinals, and Villanova won the FCS championship.

Northeastern—the school whose 2005 motion to the CAA enabled the cosmos of the CAA football briefing—dropped football game after the 2009 season. President Joseph E. Aoun and the board of trustees endorsed the move after an extensive, 2-year review of the athletic program by its director, Peter Roby. The decision to eliminate football followed six direct losing seasons and sparse game attendance at a school whose ice rink frequently sells out for hockey.^[24]

On December 3, 2009, Hofstra appear that the university would no longer be sponsoring football. The decision follows a ii-year review of sports spending at Hofstra. Schoolhouse officials stated there are no plans to cutting any other sports at the Long Island school. Hofstra cited costs and low student interest—simply 500 students would nourish home games despite free tickets—equally reasons to drop the program.^[25] Due to the reduction of the conference, the CAA did not use the division format for the 2010 season. Even though Old Rule began briefing play in 2011 and Georgia Land did the same in 2012, the divisional format is not probable to return in the immediate time to come, every bit the CAA lost football game members in both 2012 and 2013. UMass departed for FBS and the Mid-American Conference in 2012 followed past Georgia State's departure for the Sun Chugalug and Sometime Dominion for Conference USA.

The 2010 flavor started with the biggest non-conference win of the CAA'south brusk history, when James Madison defeated nationally ranked Virginia Tech (FBS #13 at the time) of the ACC. JMU won 21–16 on September 11, at Virginia Tech's Lane Stadium.
