Keys:

-Conference play is anticipated to begin on March 6 and conclude on April 17, with each team receiving a bye week during the seven-week timeframe.

-The conference will use a North/South divisional format, with all six league games coming against teams within the division. (Note: this is not mathematically possible- there are 12 league teams, so if each division has six members that would be 5 in division games)

-The team with the best overall conference record will be the conference's automatic qualifier to the NCAA Football Championship. Should the divisional champions finish with the same record, a tiebreaking policy will be used to determine the automatic qualifier.

-Institutions are allowed to schedule "non-conference" games against other conference members, but those games would not count towards the conference standings and the outcome would not be used in the tiebreaking procedures. (Note: it is unclear in Maine's release whether you could alternatively play against non-CAA teams).

I would imagine the divisional breakdown would be:

NORTH: Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Stony Brook, Albany, Villanova
SOUTH: Elon, James Madison, Towson, William & Mary, Richmond, Delaware

There could be a repeat matchup within the division? But I do think one cross division game would make more sense.

That's good, I'll be watching this spring. I've always liked the Yankee/Atlantic 10/Colonial Athletic Conference.

The only crossover worth protecting there is probably Villanova/Delaware.

I see zero point in Spring football. And they plan to have a full season just 4 months later?

Maybe FCS will switch to spring from now on...

What is the point of fall football?
