#Am e r i c A nr i s i n g In the course of its first two seasons, the American Athletic Conference has taken a place at the forefront of intercollegiate athletics, 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 Uni-versity of Central Florida, the University of Cincinnati, East Car-olina University, the University of Connecticut, the University of Houston, the University of Memphis, the U.S. Naval Acad-emy (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 championship teams – UConn men’s basketball in 2014 and UConn women’s bas-ketball 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 Col-lege 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 soccer and men’s golf.

The American is quickly making its mark in professional 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 profes-sional entry drafts in football, basketball, 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 Se-attle 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 football 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 formation. Memphis finished with 10 wins in football for the first time since 1938. SMU ad-vanced 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 rank-ing. 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 part-nerships with ESPN and CBS Sports which give the conference outstanding national exposure on the two industry leaders in sports television. The football portion of the contract calls for nearly 90 percent of conference-controlled games on national broadcast or national cable platforms. The first American Ath-letic Conference Football Championship, which will be played Dec. 5, 2015, will be carried on either ABC or ESPN on Champi-onship Saturday.

In men’s basketball, the television deal calls for all confer-ence-controlled games to be televised, with more than 63 per-cent slotted for national broadcast or national cable – a mini-mum 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 bas-ketball 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 pin-nacle of college football’s postseason structure. An American representative would be chosen for the College Football Play-off semifinals if it is among the top four teams in the CFP se-lection 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 secondary part-nerships 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 mem-bership 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 station and 10 minutes from T.F. Green Interna-tional Airport – gives the conference easy access to its member schools.

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’ meet-ings held on-site each year.

AMERICAN ATHLETIC

CONFERENCE

@aMerican_WSoc

Mike Aresco has established himself as one of the leading figures in intercollegiate sports as commis-sioner of the American Athletic Conference.

Aresco, who was named to his current position Aug. 14, 2012, has overseen a strategic reinvention of the conference, which has quickly become one of the premier conferences in the nation.

The American’s inaugural year produced a remark-able string of accomplishments as UCF won the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and finished the season ranked No. 10 in the Associated Press poll. UConn won NCAA titles in both men’s and women’s basketball as American Athletic Conference teams had the best postseason winning percentage of any conference in men’s basketball. 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 conference’s momentum continued in 2014-15 as Memphis, UCF and Cincinnati won the league title in football, while Memphis finished the season ranked No. 25 in the final national polls, giving The American at least one team in the final top 25 for the second time in as many years. Teams from the conference faced opponents from the SEC and ACC, along with BYU, in the bowl season as The American earned wins in the Miami Beach Bowl and Armed Forces Bowl.

Among the milestones reached in Aresco’s tenure have been the announcement of a conference foot-ball championship game for the first time in 2015 and the league’s successful staging of its own post-season bowl game, the Miami Beach Bowl, in 2014.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 confer-ence’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 indus-try leaders in sports television. Aresco then quickly and successfully organized the process whereby the conference 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 ex-isting 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 mem-bership.

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; success-ful site negotiations for the conference’s men’s and women’s basketball championships; and the launch-ing of a brand marketing campaign.

Additionally, Aresco brokered a multi-year mar-keting rights agreement with IMG College, the in-dustry leader in collegiate sports marketing, and oversaw the development of The American’s new football bowl lineup, which features numerous an-nual matchups against the nation’s other top confer-

ences. Included in that lineup is the Miami Beach Bowl – a bowl game that is owned and operated by the American Athletic Conference in a first-of-its-kind venture.

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

Aresco has played an active role in the formation of the College Football Playoff, serving on the Col-lege Football Playoff Management Committee and helping to select the 13 members of the CFP Selec-tion Committee. Aresco also serves on the College Football Playoff Television and Site Selection com-mittees.

In basketball, Aresco has secured the conference’s participation in The Men’s Basketball Officiating Con-sortium, L.L.C., partnering with the Big 12 Confer-ence, Conference USA, the Ohio Valley Conference and the Southland Conference to ensure that the highest-quality game officials are assigned to Ameri-can Athletic Conference contests.

Aresco is a member of the Conference Commission-ers Association enforcement working group and women’s basketball working group. He serves on the board of managers for both College Football Of-ficiating, LLC, and Men’s College Basketball, LLC. He is also a member of the FBS commissioners’ media subcommittee. He is a charter member of the steer-ing committee of the Columbia University/New York City Chapter of the National Football Foundation and serves on the board of the National Sports Market-ing Network.

Aresco has been a leader in the NCAA governance redesign efforts and a strong and articulate spokes-man in various forums for the integrity of the col-legiate model.

Aresco came to the conference from CBS Sports where he was Executive Vice President, Program-ming. He was responsible for all college sports pro-gramming 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 college basketball and football, conference basket-ball championship games, football bowl games and other programming. His responsibilities included game selection and scheduling, day-to-day opera-tions, contract negotiations, identification of future acquisitions, development of programming strate-gies and coordination of new media and marketing initiatives.

Aresco played an integral role in the landmark 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 basket-ball championship. Aresco also was instrumental in the CBS Television Network’s groundbreaking bun-dled rights agreement with the NCAA, which grant-ed CBS exclusive rights to the NCAA tournament from 2003 through 2010. The 2010 NCAA Champion-ship won a Sports Emmy in the Outstanding Playoff Coverage category. Aresco also played a key role in. negotiating NCAA marketing agreements and in cre-ating a partnership with IMG and the NCAA to assist in acquiring new NCAA corporate sponsors. He also was a significant contributor in the development of new media platforms for the NCAA Championship, including March Madness On Demand, a highly suc-cessful streaming platform.

In 2008, Aresco negotiated a historic 15-year agree-ment 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 basketball agreements with major conferences and negotiated 10-year exten-sions of the Army-Navy and Notre Dame-Navy foot-ball rivalries.

Aresco was the creator and executive producer of The Tony Barnhart Show and Courtside with Seth Davis, both of which aired on the CBS Sports Net-work. 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 college basketball.

Aresco joined CBS Sports from ESPN where he was responsible for overseeing the acquisition, schedul-ing and development of long-term strategies for all ESPN college sports properties. Earlier in his tenure at ESPN, he was responsible for programming a wide variety of sports properties, including College Football Association, Big Ten, and Pac-10 college football, NCAA events, including early rounds of the NCAA basketball tournament, the College World Se-ries and various professional sports events, includ-ing thoroughbred racing, Top Rank Boxing, CFL foot-ball, Australian Rules Football, rodeo and yachting. He was the architect of ESPN’s signature Thursday night college football series and helped develop ES-PN’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 Univer-sity (B.A., magna cum laude, history), The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts (M.A., inter-national relations), where he held a John Moors Cabot Scholarship, and the University of Connecti-cut School of Law (J.D.). He practiced law privately in Hartford, Connecticut, for several years.

Aresco is a regular speaker and expert panelist at national symposiums and seminars on the topics of college athletics and sports television. He was awarded the 2013 Distinguished Graduate Award by the UConn School of Law Alumni Association and was elected to the Middletown (Connecticut) Sports Hall of Fame in January of 2015.

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.

The 2015 American Athletic Conference Women’s Soccer Championship will be decided at the home of the SMU Mustangs, Westcott Field in Dallas. Quarterfinal matches will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 3, followed by the semifinals on Thursday Nov. 5, and the championship game on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Westcott Field has served as the home turf for both the SMU men’s and women’s soccer teams since it opened in 1994.The grass facility was used as a training site for the Dallas venue of World Cup USA ‘94. Teams from Germany, Bulgaria, Sweden and Holland practiced there before their games at the Cotton Bowl.

In 2001, Westcott Field ranked among the highest attended facilities during the SMU men’s team’s No. 1 reign for 14 weeks, as well as the women’s team’s march to the Western Athletic Conference title.

In 2004, the Mustangs added a press box to the stadium featuring attractive lettering and the Mustangs’ past champions. Before the 2006 season, SMU installed a new turf and a state-of-the art drainage system.

This season will mark the first year The American has held the women’s soccer championship in the Lone Star State. In 2013, top-seed UCF downed Rutgers in penalty kicks to capture The American’s automatic qualifier. The final and both semifinals were scoreless draws decided in penalty kicks. The weekend produced three teams in the NCAA Championship, as UCF and Rutgers were joined by Louisville in the field of 64. Last year, No. 4 seed UConn upset the 2014 regular-season champion and top-seeded UCF in the semifinals, 1-0. The Huskies proceeded to advance past No. 3 seed USF in the final, 3-2 in penalty kicks, after a scoreless draw to claim The American tournament championship. For the second consecutive year, three American Athletic Conference teams extended their seasons to play in the NCAA tournament. UCF, UConn and USF all earned bids to the NCAA College Cup, with UCF advancing to the third round before being eliminated by the eventual national champion, Florida State.

• The Tigers’ four seniors – Emily Adamic, Marissa Duguay, Elysia Masters and Diamond Simpson – have combined to play 16,950 minutes in their careers. Three of the four players have started alongside each other in the defense for the last three seasons.

•In addition to an extremely experienced backline, junior goal-keeper Maryse Bard-Martel played every minute between the posts last season. She finished the season with a 9-6-4 record, five shut-outs and a 1.01 goals against average.

•Junior Valerie Sanderson has led the Tigers in goals scored each of the last two seasons and has 30 career goals scored. In 2013 she set the freshman program record with 17 goals before scoring 13 more in her sophomore season.

•This season Memphis will face the challenge of replacing the 2014 American Athletic Conference Midfielder of the Year, Kylie Da-vis. The Tigers do have plenty of experienced midfielders who they believe can fill the role.

• Head coach Brooks Monaghan and his staff have continued their pipeline into Canada and now have 14 players who hail from the United States’ northern neighbor.
