History
The CAAC was created in 2003, consisting 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 to 2007 the conference was made up of three divisions (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 color-based divisions (Blue, Gold, Red, and White), due to new schools joining the league. The 2012–13 season was when the league reached its peak 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 went through major re-alignment after seven schools departed the league. Lakewood and Stockbridge left the CAAC, and created a new conference with five other schools, called the Greater Lansing Athletic Conference (GLAC). Jackson area schools, Jackson Northwest, Parma Western, Jackson Lumen Christi, as well as Charlotte left the conference and created the Interstate Eight Conference. Corunna made the decision to move east and join the Genesee Area Conference (GAC). The CAAC reduced to three divisions and eliminated the gold division. Currently the blue division has eight schools, the red has six, and the white has six also. Former league member Charlotte, which was one of the seven schools that left the conference at the start of the 2014–15 school year, to join the newly formed Interstate Eight Conference, will be leaving that conference and will be joining the CAAC once again at the start of the 2017–18 school year. The 2018–19 school year, the CAAC will go through re-alignment once again. DeWitt and Lansing Waverly will join the Blue, with East Lansing, Grand Ledge, Holt, Lansing Everett, and Okemos. In the Red, Fowlerville, Lansing Eastern and Williamston will be joining Haslett, Mason, and St. Johns. Charlotte and Lansing Sexton will move to the White with Eaton Rapids, Ionia, Lansing Catholic, and Portland. Jackson High School will be departing the league and join the Ann Arbor based Southeastern Conference (SEC).
