TheCoastal Athletic Association (CAA),[1] formerly theECAC South Conference and theColonial Athletic Association, is a collegiateathletic conference affiliated with theNCAA'sDivision I whose full members are located inEast Coast states, fromMassachusetts toSouth Carolina. Most of its members arepublic universities, and the conference is headquartered inRichmond. The CAA was historically aSouthern conference until the addition of four schools in theNortheastern United States (of five that joined from rival conferenceAmerica East) after the turn of the 21st century, which added geographic balance to the conference.
The CAA was founded in 1979 as the ECAC South Conference, made up ofindependent schools which playedbasketball in theEastern College Athletic Conference's South RegionDivision I men's basketball tournament. During its first two seasons, its members continued to play basketball as independents during the regular season and take part in the ECAC's South Region tournament for independents, but it began conference play in basketball inthe 1981–1982 season. It was renamed the Colonial Athletic Association in 1985 when it 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's sports. The addition ofNortheastern University in 2005 gave the conference the NCAA minimum of six football programs needed to sponsorfootball. For the 2007 football season, all of theAtlantic 10 Conference's football programs joined the CAA football conference, as agreed in May 2005. The football league operates under CAA administration as the legally separate entity ofCAA Football.
The most recent changes to the conference membership took place in 2022 and 2023. First,Hampton University,Monmouth University,North Carolina A&T State University, andStony Brook University joined in 2022. Stony Brook, already a member of CAA Football, joined in other sports at that time; Hampton and Monmouth joined both the all-sports CAA and CAA Football; and NC A&T joined the all-sports CAA in 2022 and joined CAA Football in 2023.[2][3] This was followed byCampbell University joining both sides of the league in 2023.[4] The conference renamed itself the Coastal Athletic Association in 2023.
The CAA has expanded in recent years, following the exits of longtime members such as theUnited States Naval Academy, theUniversity of Richmond,East Carolina University, andAmerican University. In 2001, the six-member conference added four additional universities:Towson University,Drexel University,Hofstra University, and theUniversity of Delaware. Four years later the league expanded again whenGeorgia State University andNortheastern University joined, further enlarging the conference footprint.Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) left for theAtlantic 10 Conference in July 2012.[5] More changes came in 2013:Old Dominion University left forConference USA,[6] Georgia State joined theSun Belt Conference,[7] and theCollege of Charleston joined the CAA from theSouthern Conference.[8]
On the playing field, the CAA has produced 16 national team champions in six different sports (the most recent being the James Madison University Dukes who won the 2018 Division I Women's Lacrosse championship), 33 individual national champions, 11 national coaches of the year, 11 national players of the year and 12Honda Award winners. In 2006,George Mason became the first CAA team to reach theFinal Four. In 2011, theVCU Rams became the second CAA team to reach the Final Four, as well as the first team to win five games en route, due to their participation in the First Four round.
On March 25, 2013, George Mason University left the CAA to join the Atlantic 10 Conference.[9] Shortly after, the CAA ceased sponsorship of wrestling due to the lack of teams.
The 2015–16 basketball season saw the conference RPI reach its highest rating when it finished the season ranked 9th in the nation.
During another phase of realignment that started in 2021, the CAA was affected when longtime memberJames Madison University announced it would leave the CAA, transitionits football program to theFootball Bowl Subdivision, and join theSun Belt Conference (SBC). Initially, JMU was to join the SBC in July 2023.[10] However, the timeline changed when the CAA chose to ban JMU from subsequent championship events, citing a conference bylaw that allows it to impose such a ban on a departing member. Thus, JMU officially joined the Sun Belt in July 2022 instead (at which time it was counted as an FBS member for scheduling purposes after meeting an NCAA minimum requirement of five FBS opponents at home), housing all of its sports in that league, including men's soccer, which would be sponsored by the SBC again, but one season earlier.[11][12]
Shortly before JMU announced its departure, it was reported that the CAA sought to expand by several schools, allowing it to split into a divisional format for most of its sports in order to reduce travel costs for its members. Among the schools named as possible candidates wereFairfield University,Howard University,Monmouth University, and theUniversity of North Carolina at Greensboro.[13][14] In January 2022, reports emerged thatHampton University, ahistorically black institution that had been working toward a CAA move since at least 1995, would likely join the CAA that July. Monmouth was again named as a potential CAA expansion candidate. Also,Stony Brook University, already a member of CAA Football, was named as a candidate for membership in the all-sports CAA.[15] On January 18, local media in Monmouth's home of New Jersey reported that a CAA invitation to that school was imminent.[16]
The CAA later announced on January 25 that Hampton, Monmouth, and Stony Brook would become members of the all-sports CAA that July, with Hampton and Monmouth joining Stony Brook in CAA Football.[17] On February 22, the CAA announced thatNorth Carolina A&T State University would join the all-sports CAA that July and CAA Football in 2023.[3] Still later,Campbell University was announced as a new member of both sides of the league effective in 2023.[4]
On July 20, 2023, the Colonial Athletic Association rebranded as the Coastal Athletic Association, citing the expansion of the conference footprint throughout the east coast for the change in name; however, the current logo was unchanged.[18]
On November 28, 2023, Delaware announced its departure from the CAA and transition to theFootball Bowl Subdivision (FBS) joiningConference USA on July 1, 2025.[19]
