The information in this article is already included in the
Colonial Athletic Association article and has been for over a decade. The consensus of previous discussions was not to separate the articles, making this article unnecessary as it is a new article created in May 2023 that is merely a duplicate of information already available on the main article that was created in March 2004.Superman7515 (talk) 00:39, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Redirect per above. No reason or need to split this off.SportsGuy789 (talk) 15:03, 20 July 2023 (UTC)]- Keep – Upon further review I agree with User:Shl13132. See the CAA's official announcement (7/20/23) that "The name change will carry over to the league’s football conference, which will be officially recognized as the Coastal Athletic Association Football Conference but continue to be referred to as the CAA Football Conference."

*Comment/Question Is this basically similar to the Missouri Valley Conference/Missouri Valley Football Conference situation?-UCO2009bluejay (talk) 17:41, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, this is the same situation. It was also similar to the Southland Conference and the Southland Bowling League before the bowling league was absorbed by Conference USA. They are run by the same administration/use the same branding but are different entities. Shl13132 (talk) 17:48, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Per discussion above. It would be a misnomer to merge two separate entites.-UCO2009bluejay (talk) 17:59, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
