Colonial Athletic Association Football

The football section of the Colonial Athletic Association technically begins play with the 2007 season. However, the league is a direct continuation of the former Atlantic Ten football league (1997-2006), which was in turn a continuation of the football section of the Yankee Conference (1946-1996).
