Season 2 - Off Season 


The ACA governor Richard Martin and the ACA board of directors are proud to announce that season 1 blew away the board's projections. League attendance, engagement and viewership was nearly 4x what was projected. With the huge success in season 1, the board of directors and all the school athletic directors met to discuss rapid expansion and new league plans to continue to grow the ACA. The ACA has already been in talks to look for a new network to help broadcast all ACA games in the future in one place. They have also begun looking for an updated modern uniform design from Pioneers Sports.

The ACA is proud to announce a 3 year expansion plan to grow the league to 32 teams. With the plan comes changing of conferences and alignment. The SAC and CSC conferences will be disbanded and replaced with 2 new conferences. The first new conference will be the Capital Coast Conference (CCC), which will have teams across the east coast. The other new conference will be the Gulf Coast Conference (GCC) which will have teams based in the south in Florida, Texas and etc, near the Gulf of Mexico. The GLC and WCC are both set to return. Each year 4 more teams will be introduced to the ACA for the next 3 seasons. In the coming seasons with the expansion will come conference championship games and expanded playoffs.

Re: American College Athletics - ACA

Season 2 - Preview 


It is time to kick off season 2 of the ACA. Season 2 sees lots of changes already with 2 new conference names, realignment and 4 new expansion schools. With 4 new teams roster sizes will remain the same at 65 man rosters and the salary cap will remain the same at $80 million. This season will be same as last, with 10 games per team and they will play each team in there own conference once. Conference record will determine the conference winners this season. The 4 conference winnings will receive an automatic bid to the playoffs and then the next 4 highest ranking poll teams will qualify (voted on by the ACA board of directors). The 8 playoff teams will then be ranked by the board 1 through 8 to determine playoff seeding and matchups. The following will be the quarter final bowl games Empire Bowl (New York, NY), Checkers Bowl (Indianapolis, IN), Valley Bowl (Scottsdale, AZ) and Golden State Bowl (San Francisco, CA). The semi final games will be Lone Star Bowl (Dallas, TX) and the Sunshine Bowl (Miami, FL). This years National Championship will be held in Tampa Bay, FL. 

Season 1 saw the Central Colorado Rush take down the North Star Shockers in the National Championship. The Central Colorado Rush come into the season ranked #1 as they return 4th year QB Dillon Barber, but with a young defense many question if they can go back to back. The Shockers will be returning a majority of starters but will be starting transfer 3rd year QB Jackson Laprozo. The Fort Forth Falcons and USK Patriots are poised to be contenders and be National Championship contenders. A new team the Lehigh Valley Liberty have strong freshman class with many A ranked prospects.
