THE AMERICAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCEIn the course of its first

two seasons, the American Athletic Conference has taken a place at the fore-front of intercollegiate ath-letics, earning a collection of national team and individual championships and football postseason wins that place The American among the elite Division I conferences.

The American consists of 12 prestigious institutions: the University of Central Florida, the University of

Cincinnati, East Carolina University, the University of Connecticut, the University of Houston, the University of Memphis, the U.S. Naval Academy (in football only), the University of South Florida, Southern Methodist University, Temple University, Tulane University and the University of Tulsa.

Under the leadership of commissioner Mike Aresco, the American Athletic Conference has written an impressive list of accomplishments, both in and out of the competitive arena.

The league has produced three NCAA champion-ship teams – UConn men’s basketball in 2014 and UConn women’s basketball in 2014 and 2015 – and two individuals who have won NCAA titles, most recently SMU’s Bryson Dechambeau, who was the 2015 national champion in men’s golf. Additionally, American Athletic Conference teams have advanced to the College World Series, the semifinal and final rounds of the NIT and the match play round of the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship. Half of the conference’s baseball-playing members reached the NCAA Championship in 2015, while The American had the best men’s basketball postseason record of any conference in 2014, when conference teams were a combined 13-4. Teams from The American have registered top-10 national rankings in football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s soc-cer and men’s golf.

The American is quickly making its mark in profes-sional sports as well, beginning with the selection of UCF quarterback Blake Bortles by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the No. 3 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.

More recently, a number of American Athletic Conference athletes have been selected in the first round of the professional entry drafts in football, bas-ketball, baseball and soccer. UConn’s Cyle Larin was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 Major League Soccer SuperDraft as he was chosen by Orlando City SC. UCF’s Romario Williams was taken by the Montreal Impact at No. 3, giving The American two of the top three picks in the draft. UConn’s Sergio Campbell went at No. 19 to the Columbus Crew as the third pick from the conference in the first round.

In the 2015 NFL Draft, UCF’s Breshad Perriman and UConn’s Byron Jones were selected consecutively in the first round – Perriman to the Baltimore Ravens at No. 26 overall and Jones to the Dallas Cowboys at No. 27. It was the second straight year in which The American had at least two first-round selections.

UConn’s Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis was selected by the Seattle Storm with the No. 3 pick in the 2015 WNBA Draft, while UConn’s Kiah Stokes went 11th overall to the New York Liberty.

Cincinnati outfielder Ian Happ, the 2015 American Athletic Conference Player of the Year, was chosen by the Chicago Cubs with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2015 Major League Baseball Draft.

In football, two American Athletic Conference foot-ball teams were ranked in the top 15 of the final 2013 Associated Press poll, while Memphis finished the season in the top 25 of the 2014 polls as Tigers tied UCF and Cincinnati for the conference title. Six of the 12 teams that compete in The American in 2015 played in bowl games to cap the 2014 season as Memphis, Houston and Navy earned postseason victories.

Teams in The American have enjoyed almost unprecedented success since the conference’s for-mation. Memphis finished with 10 wins in football for the first time since 1938. SMU advanced to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship for the first time since 1993. UCF and Houston have both achieved top-10 rankings in baseball in the past two years. USF finished the 2014-15 season at No. 8 in the final men’s golf national ranking.The UConn women’s basketball team won its NCAA-record ninth and 10th national championships as a member of The American.

The American Athletic Conference holds media rights partnerships with ESPN and CBS Sports which give the conference outstanding national exposure on

the two industry leaders in sports television. The foot-ball portion of the contract calls for nearly 90 percent of conference-controlled games on national broad-cast or national cable platforms. The first American Athletic Conference Football Championship, which will be played Dec. 5, 2015, will be carried on either ABC or ESPN on Championship Saturday.

In men’s basketball, the television deal calls for all conference-controlled games to be televised, with more than 63 percent slotted for national broadcast or national cable – a minimum of 107 games. The entire postseason tournament will be televised, including the championship game, which will be on ABC or ESPN. Sixty percent of the American’s women’s basketball games will be carried on national cable, regional sports networks or ESPN3, while the conference has a multi-year agreement with CBS Sports Network for coverage of select baseball games.

American Athletic Conference teams have access to the pinnacle of college football’s postseason struc-ture. An American representative would be chosen for the College Football Playoff semifinals if it is among the top four teams in the CFP selection committee’s final ranking. Otherwise, the league would place its champion in either the Vizio Fiesta Bowl or the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl if it is ranked higher than the champions of Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference and the Sun Belt Conference.

Additionally, The American holds primary or second-ary partnerships with 12 bowls for the current six-year cycle, ensuring multiple annual matchups against the nation’s top conferences and providing desirable postseason destinations to member institutions and their fans.

The American Athletic Conference administers to its membership from a state-of-the-art office located in Providence, R.I. The location of the conference headquarters – just steps from the city’s Amtrak sta-tion and 10 minute from T.F. Green Airport – gives the conference easy access to its memberschools. The conference headquarters is equipped with a complete video production studio, serving as the home of the American Digital Network, and small- and large-scale meeting rooms to accommodate the many coaches’ and administrators’ meetings held on-site each year.

2015-16 American Athletic Conference Championship Schedule

CONFERENCE STAFF

Mike Aresco has established himself as one of the foremost figures in intercollegiate sports as commissioner of the American Athletic Conference.

Aresco, who was named to his current posi-tion Aug. 14, 2012, has overseen a strategic reinvention of the conference, which has quick-ly become one of the premier conferences in the nation.

The American’s first year produced a remark-able string of accomplishments as UCF won the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and UConn won NCAA titles in both men’s and women’s basketball. American Athletic Conference teams had the best postseason winning percentage of any conference in men’s basketball, as the league sent four teams to the NCAA tournament and saw SMU advance to the championship game of the NIT.

The American was the only conference to have a Bowl Championship Series win and teams in the Men’s Final Four, the Women’s Final Four and the College World Series in 2013-14. Teams from the conference finished in the national top 10 in football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, men’s soccer, baseball and men’s golf.

The American features 11 members in the 2014-15 academic year: UCF, Cincinnati, UConn, East Carolina, Houston, Memphis, USF, SMU, Temple, Tulane and Tulsa. Navy joins in 2015-16 as a football-playing member. Among the mile-

stones reached in Aresco’s tenure have been the launch of a football championship game for the first time in 2015 and the league’s staging of its own postseason bowl game.

Aresco’s first months were marked by his suc-cessful efforts to ensure the conference’s place within the College Football Playoff – the new system that will determine the national champi-on, beginning in 2014. Aresco was instrumental in securing the arrangement that will put the American Athletic Conference champion in a New Year’s Day system bowl if it is the high-est-ranked team among the champions of five conferences.

Aresco has played an active role in the for-mation of the College Football Playoff, serving on the College Football Playoff Management Committee and helping to select the 13 mem-bers of the CFP Selection Committee. Aresco also serves on the College Football Playoff Television and Site Selection committees.

In the wake of the changes created by college sports realignment, Aresco moved quickly to solidify the conference, leading negotiations that resulted in the most favorable financial terms for the conference’s football schools, after the withdrawal of the non-football-playing schools, as well as the 2013-14 launch of the renamed and rebranded conference.

He simultaneously led the negotiations that resulted in television contracts with ESPN and CBS Sports, which have given the conference

unprecedented national exposure and branding with the two industry leaders in sports tele-vision. Aresco then quickly and successfully organized the process whereby the confer-ence was renamed the American Athletic Conference – a name that was immediately accepted nationally – and he also oversaw the process that resulted in the conference’s popular graphic identity.

He has also successfully worked with the conference schools to arrive at an equitable distribution of existing revenue for the current and new conference institutions, bringing about a period of cohesiveness that is unprecedented in the league’s history. He has restructured the conference office staff to maximize efficiency and better serve the needs of the membership.

Among his other significant accomplishments on behalf of the American Athletic Conference were the spearheading of expansion efforts, which resulted in the addition of East Carolina, Tulane and Tulsa as of July 1, 2014, and Navy as a football member in 2015; launching The American Digital Network; successful negotia-tions for the conference’s men’s and women’s basketball championships; and the launching of a brand marketing campaign.

Additionally, Aresco brokered a multi-year

marketing rights agreement with IMG College, the industry leader in collegiate sports mar-keting, and oversaw the development of The American’s new football bowl lineup, which features numerous annual matchups against the nation’s other top conferences. Included in that lineup is the Miami Beach Bowl – a bowl game that will be owned and operated by the American Athletic Conference in a first-of-its-kind venture.

In basketball, Aresco has secured the con-ference’s participation in The Men’s Basketball Officiating Consortium, L.L.C., partnering with the Big 12 Conference, Conference USA, the Ohio Valley Conference and the Southland Conference to ensure that the highest-qual-ity game officials are assigned to American Athletic Conference contests.

Aresco is a member of the Conference Commissioners Association enforcement work-ing group and women’s basketball working group. He serves on the management com-mittee of the College Football Playoff and the board of managers for both the College Football Officiating, LLC, and Men’s College Basketball, LLC.

Aresco has been a leader in the NCAA gov-ernance redesign efforts and a spokesman in various forums for the integrity of the collegiate model.

Aresco came to the conference from CBS Sports where he was Executive Vice President, Programming. He was responsible for all col-lege sports programming for CBS Sports and CBS Sports Network. Aresco oversaw the acquisition and management of CBS Sports

college properties, including the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship, regular-season col-lege basketball and football, conference basket-ball championship games, football bowl games and other programming. His responsibilities included game selection and scheduling, day-to-day operations, contract negotiations, iden-tification of future acquisitions, development of programming strategies and coordination of new media and marketing initiatives.

Aresco played an integral role in the land-mark deal that created the CBS Sports-Turner Broadcasting partnership, which resulted in the acquisition of the NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Championship rights through 2024. He managed the complex 14-year agreement that provides expanded national broadcast and cable coverage of the NCAA basketball cham-pionship. Aresco also was instrumental in the CBS Television Network’s groundbreaking bun-dled-rights agreement with the NCAA, which granted CBS exclusive rights to the NCAA tournament from 2003 through 2010. The 2010 NCAA Championship won a Sports Emmy in the Outstanding Playoff Coverage category. Aresco also played a key role in negotiating NCAA marketing agreements and in creating a partnership with IMG and the NCAA to assist in acquiring new NCAA corporate sponsors. He also was a significant contributor in the devel-opment of new media platforms for the NCAA Championship, including the highly successful March Madness On Demand.

In 2008, Aresco negotiated a historic 15-year agreement with the Southeastern Conference to televise the league’s football and basketball

games. The agreement also provided multiple new media rights for CBS, CBS Sports Network and CBS Interactive. He forged numerous bas-ketball agreements with major conferences and negotiated 10-year extensions of the Army-Navy and Notre Dame-Navy football rivalries.

Aresco was the creator and executive pro-ducer of The Tony Barnhart Show and Courtside with Seth Davis, both of which aired on the CBS Sports Network.

In 2004, he was appointed by the late NCAA President Myles Brand to the Basketball Partnership, a select panel whose mission was to explore ways to improve and promote col-lege basketball. He is a charter member of the steering committee of the Columbia University/New York City Chapter of the National Football Foundation and serves on the board of the National Sports Marketing Network.

Aresco joined CBS Sports from ESPN where he was responsible for overseeing the acquisi-tion, scheduling and development of long-term strategies for all ESPN college sports prop-erties. Earlier in his tenure at ESPN, he was responsible for programming a wide variety of sports properties, including College Football Association, Big 10, and Pac-10 college foot-ball, NCAA events, including early rounds of the NCAA basketball tournament, the College World Series and various professional sports events, including thoroughbred racing, Top Rank Boxing, CFL football, Australian Rules Football, rodeo and yachting. He was the archi-tect of ESPN’s signature Thursday night college football series and helped develop ESPN’s Bowl Week. He joined ESPN in 1984 as Counsel and was named Assistant General Counsel in 1988 before moving to the programming department.

Aresco is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Tufts University (B.A., magna cum laude, history), The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts (M.A., international relations), where he held a John Moors Cabot Scholarship, and the University of Connecticut School of Law (J.D.). He practiced law privately in Hartford, Conn., for several years.

Aresco is a regular speaker and expert pan-elist at national symposiums and seminars on the topics of college athletics and sports tele-vision. He was awarded the 2013 Distinguished Graduate Award by the UConn School of Law Alumni Association.

Aresco and his wife, Sharon, have two adult sons: Matthew, an Emmy-nominated television producer who lives in Connecticut with his wife, Elizabeth; and Brett, an actor who lives in New York City.

American Athletic Conference Championship Amway Center • Orlando, Fla.March 10-13, 2016

The 2016 American Athletic Conference Men’s Basket-ball Championship will be played in the Amway Center, located in downtown Orlando, Fla.

From its signature spire and modern architecture to its public spaces and comfortable amenities, the Amway Center is an iconic destination to Central Florida and be-yond. The Amway Center features a modern mix of metal and glass exterior materials and the spire serves as a beacon amid Orlando’s vibrant downtown.

With an ultimate capacity of more than 20,000 seats, the arena was designed to respond to its distinct urban setting while revealing the activities occurring with-in. Bounded by Church Street, Hughey Avenue, South Street and Division Avenue, the Amway Center’s primary entrance faces north to Church Street, creating a natural extension of the nearby downtown entertainment core.

The Orlando Magic served as the developer of the Amway Center which continues to host major national events, concerts and family shows. Opened in the fall of 2010, the facility is owned and operated by the City of Orlando on behalf of the Central Florida Community. The Amway Center was designed to refl ect the character of the community, meet the goals of the users and build on the legacy of sports and entertainment in Orlando. The building features a sustainable, environmentally-friendly design (LEED Gold Certifi cation) and unmatched tech-nology featuring 1,100 digital monitors and the largest high-defi nition scoreboard in an NBA venue. The Amway Center was named the 2012 Sports Facility of the Year by the Sports Business Journal.

Ten American Athletic Conference schools will partici-pate in the 2016 championship. The format calls for two fi rst-round games on the fi rst day, followed by four quar-terfi nal games, two semifi nals and the championship game. The ESPN Networks will provide television and digital coverage of the tournament.

• USF traveled abroad to Spain for a 10-day foreign tour from Aug. 8-18. The Bulls went 2-2 in the exhibitions with wins over CB VIC roster 1 (83-63) and CB VIC roster 2 (84-75, OT) in Barcalona.

• The Bulls’ 2014-15 schedule includes nine teams with an RPI of 54 or better.

• USF returns five players who started at least eight games last season. Troy Holston Jr. is not counted among those five return-ers as he suffered a torn ACL in July.

• After three and a half seasons of Anthony Collins in the point guard position, USF will turn the reins over to sophomore trans-fer Roddy Peters. The 6-3 guard was a five-star recruit out of Suit-land High School and played his freshman season at Maryland.

• Two of this season’s most anticipated coaching matchups in-clude Orlando Antigua against Kentucky’s John Calipari, whom Antigua assisted for six seasons and against South Carolina’s Frank Martin. Antigua and Martin are the only two Hispanic head coaches in NCAA Division I.
