On July 17, 2020, the CAA announced that it would not play fall sports due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The conference gave teams the option to play as independents for the 2020 season if they still wished to play in the fall.[2] The same day, the university announced a postponement of their fall sports season, stating that they were "pursuing the feasibility of moving the fall sport programs to a spring season."[3] In October 2020, the CAA announced a football schedule for teams to play in the spring of 2021.
The Wildcats began their spring football season on March 5, 2021, with a home loss to Albany. Their next three games were postponed due to COVID concerns, and on April 6, the program opted out of the remainder of the season.[4]
The CAA released its spring conference schedule on October 27, 2020.[5]
