"We are pleased to announce the addition of football to the CAA," CAA Commissioner Thomas Yeager said. "College football, with all of its tradition, pageantry, and rivalries, creates an interest and excitement on campus and across communities that is unmatched. We look forward to having the CAA name attached to such a distinguished group of institutions and building on the successes that those members have had in the past. The addition of Northeastern as a full CAA member and the sixth football-playing institution qualified the CAA for football conference recognition by the NCAA," Yeager said. "With the commitment to begin conference competition, invitations were sent to the other six institutions and we are thrilled that the long, competitive history of this league will be preserved."

In the most shocking news, Maine has graced the CAA with their presence. :rolleyes:

The University of Maine announced today that the football team will compete as a member of the Colonial Athletic Association Football Conference beginning with the 2007 season.
