History of the CAAC[3]

The CAAC was created in 2003 composing of 21 schools coming from the now defunct leagues of the Capital Area Conference, the Capital Circuit League, the Ingham County League, and the Mid-Michigan Athletic Conference. From 2003-2007 the conference was made up of three division (I, II, III), division I was made up of eight schools, divisions II was made up of seven schools, and division III was made up of six schools in each. At the start of the 2007-08 school year the league switched from I, II, III to colored based divisions (Blue, Gold, Red, and White), due to new schools joining the league. The 2012-13 season was when the league reached it's peake of number of schools in the league, the league consisted of 27 schools with the same blue, gold, red, white divisions. After two years of competition of 27 schools, the league had to go through major re-alignment after seven schools departed the league. The CAAC had to reduce down to three divisions and eliminating the gold division. Currently the blue division has eight schools, the red having six, and the white having six also.
