Are we sure it’s not April Fools’ Day?With about two weeks until the opening of Division I football’s fall training camp, it’s one of the best FCS conferences Overall DI Moderate Major Renamed all over the country. Not only does the switch make no sense, but it’s a straightforwardly repeated name that doesn’t stand out in college sports. Formerly known as the Colonial Athletic Association, now rebranded as the Coastal Athletic Association, a name change due to changes in league membership and geography. Now as many as four of the school’s 14 full-time members are based just a short distance from the East Coast!
I know change is often uncomfortable, but changing for change’s sake, or changing to gain notoriety, is uncomfortable because it stinks, not because of recent exposure.maybe i’m a puritaBecause my alma mater, Towson, has the longest history of membership and is one of only two founding universities within CAA.Colonial pure music sounds better, more original, and gives Legit trust in the league footprint. As soon as you hear colonies, you will think of the territory of the original 13 colonies, hehe. Most of CAA’s schools are located here.what’s so confusing about college sports Colonize the space of the word? Congratulations, if you also know that this is George Washington’s mascot, then you’re probably from DC too, and you’re not like 99% of sports fans.
How many things are confusing along the coast? Let’s start with Coastal Carolina, ACC Coastal Division, and Florida Gulf Coast University. Also, which coast are you referring to? The leadership of the meeting knows, but the meeting could happen on any border of the country! Names like the West Coast Conference and the Great Southern Conference (the Carolina coast used to host games) are boring, but they let casual sports fans know where the school is.name like America’s Sunbelt and Convention Center Less geographically restricted, but built with credibility thanks to years of on-field performance and FBS football-level reputation. CAA doesn’t have the luxury of options, either.
The alliance was not CAA when it was first established, but changed its name to draw a line with its 38-year history. George Mason made it to the Final Four in 2006 at Colonial Field, as did Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) who made it to the Final Four five years later. Both later headed to the Atlantic Ten, an easier move since neither university has a football team. james madison was a major character After being one of the best teams in the FCS for the past decade, he also entered the league last year and made the leap to the Sunbelt last year, gaining more attention in FBS football. Who could forget Duke’s 2021 Women’s College World Series? This represents colonization happening. Maybe we’ll get used to not calling CAA that, or maybe “coastal” will be fun. Right now, it’s hard to see why this is needed without a complete overhaul of the branding and logo. It starts with Co, ends with L, and has some a’s in it. But it’s not the same at all.
