Colonial Athletic Association From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Established: 1983 NCAA Division I FCS Members 12 Sports fielded 21 (men's: 10; women's: 11) Region East Coast Former names ECAC South Headquarters Richmond, VA Commissioner Tom Yeager Website http://www.caasports.com Locations The Colonial Athletic Association, also known as the CAA, is a NCAA Division I college athletic conference whose members are located in East Coast states from Massachusetts to Georgia. Most of its members are public universities, with five in Virginia alone, and the conference is headquartered near Richmond, Virginia. The CAA was historically a Southern conference until the addition of five Northeastern schools (all five from rival conference America East) after the turn of the 21st century, which added balance to the conference. The CAA is considered one of the stronger mid-major conferences in the country.[citation needed] The CAA was founded in 1983 as the ECAC South basketball league. It was renamed the CAA in 1985 when it added championships in other sports (although a number of members maintain ECAC affiliation in some sports). As of 2006[update], it organizes championships in 21 men's and women's sports. The addition of Northeastern University in 2005 gave the conference the NCAA minimum of six football programs needed to sponsor football. For the 2007 football season, all of the Atlantic Ten Conference's football programs joined the CAA football conference, as agreed to in May 2005. The CAA has expanded in recent years, following the exits of longtime members such as the United States Naval Academy, University of Richmond, East Carolina University and American University. In 2001 the 6 member conference added 4 additional universities: Towson University, Drexel University, Hofstra University, and the University of Delaware. Four years later the league expanded again when Georgia State and Northeastern joined, further enlarging the conference footprint. On the playing field, the CAA has produced 16 national team champions in five different sports (the most recent being the Richmond Spiders who won the 2008 Division I-AA football title), 33 individual national champions, 11 national coaches of the year, 11 national players of the year and 12 Honda Award winners. In 2006, George Mason became the first CAA team to reach the Final Four, and was the first team designated as a true mid-major to make it that far since the tournament expanded to 64 teams.

In the 2004–05 academic year, the CAA had five member schools that sponsored football, all of them as football-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 conference. 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. Once UR accepted the offer, this left the A10 football conference with only 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-only basis, spelling the end of A10 football, at least under that conference's banner. Since the CAA football conference had the same members as the A10 the previous year, it can be said that the CAA football conference is the A10 football conference under new management. With that in mind, the CAA football conference's oldest ancestor is the Yankee Conference, which began play in 1938, eliminated sports other than football in 1975, and merged with the A10 in 1997. Every school that was in the Yankee Conference at the time of the A10 merger and still fields an FCS-level football team (10 out of the final 12 members of the Yankee Conference) is in the CAA football conference. On May 31, 2006, Old Dominion University announced that it would start a football team to begin play in 2009.[4] Old Dominion will join the CAA football conference in 2011.[5] On April 17, 2008, Georgia State University announced that it will start a football team to begin play in 2010 and join the CAA football conference in 2012.[6] The team will play in the 70,000 seat Georgia Dome. Since the CAA began play as a football conference in 2007, a member team has always played in the FCS Championship game, with the University of Delaware making it in 2007 and the University of Richmond winning it in 2008. The CAA football conference has the following members: [edit] North Division Hofstra Maine UMass New Hampshire Northeastern Rhode Island [edit] South Division Delaware James Madison Old Dominion (Program begins 2009 and joins CAA in 2011) Richmond Towson Villanova William & Mary Georgia State (Program begins 2010 and joins CAA in 2012) [edit] Former members Former members of the CAA football conference's ancestors include: Boston U.: 1971–1997, dropped football Connecticut: 1938–1999, moved up to Division I-A (now FBS), joined Big East Conference in 2004 Holy Cross: 1971, became independent, now in Patriot League Vermont: 1938–1973, dropped football [edit] Conference facilities School Football stadium Capacity Basketball arena Capacity Full Members Delaware Tubby Raymond Field at Delaware Stadium 22,000 Bob Carpenter Center (The "Bob") 5,000 Drexel - - Daskalakis Athletic Center (The "DAC") 2,300 George Mason - - Patriot Center 10,000 Georgia State Georgia Dome 70,000 GSU Sports Arena 4,500 Hofstra James M.

The stadium seats 70,000 but the school will likely reduce seating for their games except for the occasional FBS team playing in the stadium because of its size.
