C OM 54 CAA Football has established itself as one of the nation’s premier FCS power conferences for more than a decade due to its on-field success, national exposure and the achievements of its student-athletes in the classroom, in the community and at the next level. CAA Football made history in 2018 by becoming the first conference to ever have six teams (Delaware, Elon, James Madison, Maine, Stony Brook and Towson) receive berths in the NCAA Division I Football Championship. Ten of the CAA’s 12 teams have made the playoffs since 2015. The league has had multiple teams in the playoffs for the past 28 years and at least three squads in the field for the past 13 seasons. A CAA team has competed for the national championship in eight of the past 14 years. CAA Football continued its success against non-conference opponents in 2018, finishing 22-9 against FCS foes and 24-19 overall. The league posted two victories over FBS competition for the third year in a row as Villanova knocked off city rival Temple, 19-17, and Maine rallied past Western Kentucky, 31-28. CAA Football teams have now recorded 38 wins over FBS opponents in its history. A strong presence in the national rankings was another constant in 2018 as CAA Football led all conferences with six teams in the final Top 25 polls. Maine, James Madison, Stony Brook, Elon, Towson and Delaware were ranked in both the STATS and AFCA polls, with Rhode Island among other teams receiving votes. Ten of the 12 CAA teams were either ranked or receiving votes in the national polls at some point during the season. A total of 19 CAA Football players were named to one or more All-America teams in 2018, while six players and one coach were selected as finalists for national Player/ Coach of the Year awards from STATS. CAA Football continues to provide a path to the next level, with three players selected in the 2018 NFL Draft. Delaware safety Nasir Adderley was picked in the second round by the Los Angeles Chargers, Elon offensive tackle Oli Udoh was chosen in the sixth round by the Minnesota Vikings and JMU cornerback Jimmy Moreland went to the Washington Redskins in round seven. The conference has had multiple players picked in each NFL Draft since 2006. CAA Football begins a new broadcast agreement this season with partner FloSports, which will televise at least 50 games across their digital platform. In addition, several teams will have contests televised on regional sports networks. The CAA’s national appeal was showcased in 2017 when ESPN’s iconic College Gameday show aired live from James Madison on Oct. 14 prior to the Dukes’ conference showdown with Villanova. It was College Gameday’s second trip to Harrisonburg in a three-year period. CAA Football’s emphasis on its players’ off-the-field achievements was evident again in 2018. Stony Brook’s Chris Infantino was the recipient of the Chuck Boone Leadership Award, which honors the player who best embodies the highest standards of leadership, integrity, teamwork and sportsmanship in his academic and athletic pursuits. Richmond’s Griffin Trau was selected as CAA Football’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year and was honored on the FCS ADA Academic All-Star Team. Showing a desire to unite behind a common cause, all 12 CAA Football schools partnered with the Be the Match Foundation in 2018. Former Villanova coach Andy Talley has been a driving force nationally for the program, which raises awareness of the need for bone marrow donors. CAA Football has enjoyed a tremendous record in the postseason, earning 108 total playoff berths and placing at least three teams in the field every year since 2006. The league’s 108 all-time wins in the NCAA playoffs are second-most of any FCS conference, and the conference has further established its presence at the national level by placing 14 teams in the national semifinals over the past 13 seasons. James Madison took home the national championship in 2016 with a 28-14 victory over Youngstown State. It was the third title in a decade and sixth overall for CAA Football. Villanova captured the 2009 national championship and Richmond claimed its first FCS crown in 2008. In 2004, JMU won the national championship, becoming the first team since the field expanded to 16 teams in 1986 to reach the final after winning three road playoff games. Delaware rolled past Colgate, 40-0, to capture the first title-game shutout in 2003. Former league member Massachusetts earned a national championship in 1998. CAA Football boasts a total of 30 individual national award winners in league history. Villanova quarterback John Robertson (2014), Old Dominion quarterback Taylor Heinicke (2012), New Hampshire quarterback Ricky Santos (2006), William & Mary quarterback Lang Campbell (2004), Villanova running back Brian Westbrook (2001), Nova wide receiver Brian Finneran (1997), UNH running back Jerry Azumah (1998) and Towson running back Dave Meggett (1998) all earned the Walter Payton Award as the top offensive player in FCS under the league banner. UNH linebacker Matt Evans (2011), James Madison defensive lineman Arthur Moats (2009), and JMU linebacker Derrick Lloyd (2001) each received the Buck Buchanan Award as the top defensive player in FCS, while JMU defensive lineman Andrew Ankrah was chosen as the FCS ADA Defensive Player of the Year in 2017. Robertson (2012) and Towson’s Terrance West (2011) are past recipients of the Jerry Rice Award as the top freshman in FCS. New Hampshire’s Sean McDonnell (2005 and 2014), Towson’s Rob Ambrose (2011), JMU’s Mickey Matthews (1999 and 2008), Villanova’s Andy Talley (1997) and Boston University’s Dan Allen (1993) are past Eddie Robinson Award winners from the league as the top coach in FCS. Maine’s Joe Harasymiak (2018), JMU’s Mike Houston (2016), McDonnell (2014), Matthews (2004), Talley (1997 and 2009), Delaware’s K.C. Keeler (2010), Richmond’s Mike London (2008), and Massachusetts’ Mark Whipple (1998) have all garnered the AFCA National Coach of the Year honor. Stony Brook’s Chris Infantino received the STATS Doris Robinson Scholar-Athlete Award in 2018. The league remains successful beyond the collegiate playing field. CAA Football has had 119 players drafted by NFL franchises dating back to 1948. A total of 41 players have been selected in the draft over the last 14 years, including 2013 Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco of Delaware (18th overall to the Baltimore Ravens in 2008). More than 30 players currently join Flacco on active NFL rosters. CAA Football’s geographic footprint extends up and down the East Coast, with schools located from Maine to North Carolina. Members include UAlbany, Delaware, Elon, James Madison, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Richmond, Stony Brook, Towson, Villanova and William and Mary. Joe D’Antonio is in his fourth year as commissioner of CAA Football and the Colonial Athletic Association. While CAA Football officially began March 1, 2007, its roots date back more than 60 years. On December 3, 1946, the Code of the Yankee Conference went into effect. Established as an all-sports conference for the New England land grant colleges, the six charter members included Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Upon the formation of Division I-AA football in 1978, the league disbanded all sports except for football. Delaware and Richmond were admitted to the conference in 1986, Villanova was added in 1988 and James Madison, Northeastern and William and Mary joined the league in 1993. The Atlantic 10 assumed operational control of the conference from 1997-2006, with Hofstra becoming part of the league in 2001 and Towson joining the group in 2004. With the conference under the CAA Football banner, UAlbany and Stony Brook were welcomed in 2013, followed by Elon in 2014.2019 FOOTBALL 55 VILLANO VA .CO M CONFERENCES CAA BY THE NUMBERS 6 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS • Massachusetts - 1998 (55-43 over Georgia Southern) • Delaware - 2003 (40-0 over Colgate) • James Madison - 2004 (31-21 over Montana) • Richmond - 2008 (24-7 over Montana) • Villanova - 2009 (23-21 over Montana) • James Madison - 2016 (28-14 over Youngstown State) 7 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP RUNNERS-UP • Massachusetts - 1978 (28-35 to Florida A&M) • Massachusetts - 2006 (17-28 to Appalachian State) • Delaware - 2007 (21-49 to Appalachian State) • Delaware - 2011 (19-20 to Eastern Washington) • Delaware - 2011 (19-20 to Eastern Washington) • Towson - 2013 (7-35 to North Dakota State) • James Madison - 2017 (13-17 to North Dakota State) 28 CONSECUTIVE SEASONS OF MULTIPLE BERTHS IN THE NCAA PLAYOFFS • Longest active streak in FCS history (1991-2018) 108 NCAA PLAYOFF BERTHS 51 NCAA PLAYOFF BERTHS OVER THE LAST 11 YEARS 61 NCAA PLAYOFF WINS OVER THE LAST 11 YEARS 7 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL APPEARANCES OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS 15 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP SEMIFINAL APPEARANCES OVER THE LAST 7 YEARS 8 WALTER PAYTON AWARD WINNERS • Dave Meggett - Towson, 1988 • Brian Finneran - Villanova, 1997 • Jerry Azumah - New Hampshire, 1998 • Brian Westbrook - Villanova, 2001 • Lang Campbell - William and Mary, 2004 • Ricky Santos - New Hampshire, 2006 • Taylor Heinicke - Old Dominion, 2012 • John Robertson - Villanova, 2014 3 BUCK BUCHANAN AWARD WINNERS • Derrick Lloyd - James Madison, 2001 • Arthur Moats - James Madison, 2009 • Matt Evans - New Hampshire, 2011 8 EDDIE ROBINSON NATIONAL COACH OF THE YEAR WINNERS • Dan Allen - Boston University, 1993 • Andy Talley - Villanova, 1997 • Mickey Matthews - James Madison, 1999 • Sean McDonnell - New Hampshire, 2005, 2014 • Mickey Matthews - James Madison, 2008 • Rob Ambrose - Towson, 2011 • Mike Houston - James Madison, 2016 2 JERRY RICE NATIONAL FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR WINNERS • Terrance West - Towson, 2011 • John Robertson - Villanova, 2012 8 CONFERENCE NATIONAL COACH OF THE YEAR WINNERS • Andy Talley - Villanova, 1997 • Mark Whipple - Massachusetts, 1998 • Mickey Matthews - James Madison, 2004 • Mike London - Richmond, 2008 • Andy Talley - Villanova, 2009 • K.C.
