James Madison, which had been actively and transparently seeking an FBS conference for its football program for the better part of 20 years, in November accepted an invitation to join the Sun Belt in time for the 2022-23 season. In response, the CAA banned the Dukes from winning any more conference titles for the remainder of the 2021-22 season. This meant the men's basketball Dukes (who started the season 9-2, including a win over Virginia) and a fourth-place CAA women's basketball team were unable to earn their way into the NCAA tournament in the school's final go-round in the league. In the additions category, the CAA announced on Jan. 25 that it would be adding Hampton (Big South), Monmouth (MAAC) and Stony Brook (America East), effective in 2022-23. On Feb. 18, Andscape reported that North Carolina A&T would come over from the Big South as well. On April 16, HBCU Gameday reported that Howard would join its former MEAC colleagues Hampton at North Carolina A&T in the CAA by 2023-24. Those moves would bring the league to 14 schools, but the conference could still be seeking further expansion. Future look: Charleston, Delaware, Drexel, Elon, Hampton, Hofstra, Howard, Monmouth, North Carolina A&T, Northeastern, Stony Brook, Towson, UNC Wilmington, William & Mary
