THE AMERICAN


Mike Aresco has established himself as one of the leading fi gures in intercollegiate sports as commissioner of the American Athletic Confer-ence.Aresco, who was named to his current position Aug. 14, 2012, has overseen a strategic reinven-tion of the conference, which has quickly become one of the premier conferences in the nation. The American’s inaugural year produced a re-markable string of accomplishments as UCF won the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and fi nished the season ranked No. 10 in the Associated Press poll. UConn won NCAA titles in both men’s and women’s bas-ketball 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 fi nished 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 fi nished the season ranked No. 25 in the fi nal national polls, giving The American at least one team in the fi nal top 25 for the second time in as many years. Teams from the conference faced oppo-nents 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.Several of The American’s basketball teams are well-positioned for NCAA tournament berths in the 2014-15 season. Early highlights includes Temple’s win against Kansas, UConn’s win against Florida, Cincinnati’s wins against North Carolina State and San Diego State, and SMU’s victories against Michigan and Wyoming during nonconference play.The American features 11 members in the 2014-15 academic year: UCF, Cincinnati, UConn, East Carolina, Houston, Memphis, USF, SMU, Tem-ple Tulane and Tulsa. Navy joins in 2015-16 as a football-playing member. Among the milestones reached in Aresco’s tenure have been the an-nouncement of a conference football champi-onship game for the fi rst time in 2015 and the league’s successful staging of its own postsea-son bowl game, the Miami Beach Bowl, in 2014.In the wake of the changes created by college sports realignment, Aresco moved quickly to so-lidify the conference, leading negotiations that resulted in the most favorable fi nancial terms for the conference’s football schools, after the with-drawal 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 re-sulted in television contracts with ESPN and CBS Sports, which have given the conference unprec-edented national exposure and branding with the two industry leaders in sports television. Aresco then quickly and successfully organized the pro-cess 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 confer-

ence’s popular graphic identity.He has also successfully worked with the confer-ence schools to arrive at an equitable distribu-tion 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 confer-ence offi ce staff to maximize effi ciency and better serve the needs of the membership.Among his other signifi cant accomplishments on behalf of the American Athletic Conference were the spearheading of expansion efforts, which re-sulted 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 site negotiations for the con-ference’s men’s and women’s basketball champi-onships; and the launching 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 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 Confer-ence in a fi rst-of-its-kind venture.Aresco’s fi rst months were marked by his suc-cessful efforts to ensure the conference’s place within the College Football Playoff – the new sys-tem that will determine the national champion, beginning in 2014. Aresco was instrumental in securing the arrangement that will put the Amer-ican Athletic Conference champion in a New Year’s Day system bowl if it is the highest-ranked team among the champions of fi ve conferences.Aresco has played an active role in the formation of the College Football Playoff, serving on the College Football Playoff Management Commit-tee and helping to select the 13 members of the CFP Selection Committee. Aresco also serves on the College Football Playoff Television and Site Selection committees.In basketball, Aresco has secured the confer-ence’s participation in The Men’s Basketball Of-fi ciating 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-quality game offi cials are assigned to American Athletic Conference contests.Aresco is a member of the Conference Com-missioners Association enforcement working group and women’s basketball working group. He serves on the management committee of the College Football Playoff and the board of manag-ers for both College Football Offi ciating, LLC, and Men’s College Basketball, LLC. He is also a mem-ber of the FBS commissioners’ media subcom-mittee. 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 has been a leader in the NCAA gover-nance redesign efforts and a strong and articu-late spokesman in various forums for the integri-ty of the collegiate model.Aresco came to the conference from CBS Sports where he was Executive Vice President, Program-ming. He was responsible for all college 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 Champion-ship, regular-season college basketball and foot-ball, conference basketball championship games, football bowl games and other programming. His responsibilities included game selection and scheduling, day-to-day operations, contract ne-

gotiations, identifi cation of future acquisitions, development of programming strategies and coordination of new media and marketing initia-tives.Aresco played an integral role in the landmark deal that created the CBS Sports-Turner Broad-casting partnership, which resulted in the acqui-sition of the NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Championship rights through 2024. He managed the complex 14-year agreement that provides ex-panded national broadcast and cable coverage of the NCAA basketball championship. Aresco also was instrumental in the CBS Television Network’s groundbreaking bundled 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 cat-egory. Aresco also played a key role in negotiat-ing 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 signifi cant contributor in the devel-opment of new media platforms for the NCAA Championship, including March Madness On Demand, a highly successful streaming platform.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 producer 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 college basketball. Aresco joined CBS Sports from ESPN where he was responsible for overseeing the acquisition, scheduling and development of long-term strat-egies for all ESPN college sports properties. Ear-lier 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, includ-ing early rounds of the NCAA basketball tourna-ment, the College World Series and various pro-fessional sports events, including thoroughbred racing, Top Rank Boxing, CFL football, Australian Rules Football, rodeo and yachting. He was the architect of ESPN’s signature Thursday night col-lege 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 depart-ment.Aresco is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Tufts Uni-versity (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 Univer-sity of Connecticut School of Law (J.D.). He prac-ticed 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 has his own production company in Connecticut, and Brett, an actor who lives in New York City.
