Goodbye Colonial Athletic Association and welcome aboard, Coastal Athletic Association.
The conference announced a name change on Thursday to highlight expansion that now spans from Massachusetts to South Carolina. But it’s still the CAA and the same logo.
“The Conference’s new name represents a culmination of its efforts over the past three years to expand its membership, solidify its geographic footprint and affirm its long-standing mission through a new vision statement which emphasizes that CAA institutions work together to advance nationally competitive college athletic programs,” CAA commissioner Joe D’Antonio said in a release.
