CAA Commissioner Yeager: 10 Teams, No Divisions in 2010

In light of two its schools — Northeastern and Hofstra — cutting their football programs in the past two weeks, many wondered what would become of the CAA schedule in 2010, and their plans beyond. Now, we have (some) answers.

CAA Football Commissioner Tom Yeager said this afternoon that the league’s plan for next year is to “have 10 teams in the league and … no divisions.” There will still be eight conference games played. No word on what happens when ODU joins in 2011.

Will the schedule stay heavy on the traditional South division opponents?  Will recent meetings play a factor? I’m really not sure, and it may not matter, because the CAA is planning to completely redo the schedule for 2010 now.

UPDATE: According to Mike Barber, here’s how things might look in the CAA in 2012 (after ODI joins in 2011, and Georgia Southern the year after):

North
Delaware
New Hampshire
Maine
Massachusetts
Rhode Island
Villanova
South
Georgia Southern
James Madison
Old Dominion
Richmond
Towson
William & Mary
