The American Athletic Conference consists of 13 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, the University of Tulsa, and Wichita State University (as of July 1, 2017).

Under the leadership of commissioner Mike Aresco, the American Athletic Conference has written an impressive list of accomplishments, both in the competitive arena and the classroom. The American has taken its place at the forefront of intercollegiate athletics, with a collection of national team and individual championships and football and men’s and women’s basketball postseason victories that place The American among the elite Division I FBS conferences.

The league has produced four NCAA championship teams – UConn men’s basketball in 2014 and UConn women’s basketball in 2014, 2015 and 2016 – in addition to two New Year’s Six bowl champions, five NCAA individual championships, and one Rhodes Scholar. Additionally, American Athletic Conference teams have advanced to the College World Series, reached the semifinal and final rounds of the NIT, qualified for the match play round of the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship and registered top-10 finishes at the NCAA Cross Country and Outdoor Track and Field championships.

The American Athletic Conference was one of six finalists for the 2016 Sports Business Journal Sports League of the Year award, along with Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer, NASCAR, the National Basketball Association and the PGA Tour.

In football, Temple and Navy were ranked in the final College Football Playoff poll of the 2016 season, marking the second straight season that The American finished with at least two ranked teams. Seven teams from The American played in bowl games, while three teams (USF, Temple, Tulsa) finished with at least 10 wins.

The American has had a combined 15 teams play in bowl games in the last two seasons, highlighted by Houston’s win against Florida State in the 2015-16 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. Houston’s finish at No. 8 nationally in 2015 gave The American a top-10 team in the final national polls for the second time in three seasons after UCF finished No. 10 in the 2013 rankings after the Knights’ Fiesta Bowl win against Baylor. Additionally, Memphis, Navy, USF and Temple have all finished in the top 25 of either the CFP, Associated Press or USA Today polls as members of The American.

Individual teams in The American have enjoyed unprecedented success since the conference’s formation. Houston went 13-1 in the 2015 football season, setting a school record for wins, while Navy won a program-record 11 games in its first season in the conference, also in 2015. The 2014 season saw Memphis finish with 10 wins in football for the first time since 1938, while Temple enjoyed its first 10-win season in 2015.

Beyond the gridiron, The American sent four teams to the 2016 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship, and the league had the best men’s basketball postseason record of any conference in 2014. Since the conference’s formation in 2013-14, teams from The American have registered top-10 national rankings in football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s soccer, men’s golf, and men’s track and field. Student-athletes from The American won three NCAA individual titles in track and field in 2016-17 as Cincinnati’s Annette Echikunwoke won the indoor weight throw, Tulsa’s Marc Scott won the outdoor 10,000-meter title, and Houston won the crown in the outdoor 4x100-meter relay.

Under The American’s banner, SMU advanced to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship for the first time since 1993. The UConn women’s basketball team won its NCAA-record ninth, 10th and 11th national championships and broke its own NCAA record with a 111-game winning streak that spanned three seasons. UCF, ECUand Houston have all achieved top-10 rankings in baseball in the past three years. Tulsa placed sixth at the 2016 NCAA Men’s Cross Country Championship, while USF finished the 2014-15 season at No. 8 in the final men’s golf national ranking.

American Athletic Conference student-athletes have distinguished themselves in all facets of intercollegiate athletics. Temple linebacker Tyler Matakevich won the Bednarik Award and the Nagurski Trophy as the nation’s top defensive player in 2015, while Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting. UConn basketball standout Breanna Stewart finished her career as the most decorated player in college basketball history as she was chosen as the consensus national player of the year for the third time and became the first player be named four times as the Most Outstanding Player at the Final Four. Reynolds and Stewart were selected as the winners of the 2016 AAU James E. Sullivan Award as the nation’s top amateur athletes, marking only the second time in the 86-year history of the award that multiple winners were chosen.

Additionally, SMU’s Avery Acker was chosen as the Division I women’s volleyball Academic All-America of the Year in 2015, while Navy offensive guard E.K. Binns and ECUwide receiver Zay Jones have both been named as finalists for the 2016 Campbell Trophy, which is presented by the National Football Foundation to the top scholar-athlete in college football. Tulsa cross country standout Kirk Smith was chosen as a Rhodes Scholar in the fall of 2016, while two student-athletes from The American earned NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships in the conference’s first three years. The conference had a record 16 student-athletes earn CoSIDA Academic All-America accolades in 2015-16.

American Athletic Conference alumni have made their mark in professional sports as well. UCF quarterback Blake Bortles was selected 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, basketball, baseball and soccer. The American has had two first-round picks in football in each of three of the last four seasons, while the conference produced four first-round picks in the 2016 WNBA Draft.

The American Athletic Conference holds media rights partnerships with ESPN and CBS Sports which provide the conference with 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 two American Athletic Conference Football Championships were televised by ABC as part of 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 is televised, including the championship game, which is on ABC or ESPN. Sixty percent of the American’s women’s basketball games are 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 structure. 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 a New Year’s 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 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.

The American Athletic Conference serves its membership from a state-of-the-art office located in Providence, Rhode Island. The location of the conference headquarters – just steps from the city’s Amtrak station and 10 minutes from T.F. Green International Airport – gives the conference easy access to its member schools. The conference headquarters also serves as the home of the American Digital Network, which provides live coverage of all 21 conference championships.

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

Aresco was named to his current position Aug. 14, 2012, and had his contract extended by The American’s Board of Directors in 2017. He has overseen a strategic reinvention of the conference, which has become one of the premier conferences in the nation. Conference teams have won four NCAA Championships and two New Year’s Six bowl games since the 2012-13 academic year. The American was named in 2016 as a finalist for the Sports Business Journal Sports League of the Year award, and was the only entity from college athletics to be so honored.

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 foot-ball, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, men’s soccer, baseball and men’s golf.

The American, after having as many as five teams ranked in the Associated Press poll during the season, produced three teams in the final College

Football Playoff poll of 2015, including Houston, which defeated Florida State in the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl and finished No. 8 in the final national rankings with a 13-1 record. Navy, in its first year as a member of the conference, finished No. 18 nationally after a school-record 11 wins in 2015. UConn went on to win its fourth straight NCAA title in women’s basketball, while The American sent four teams to the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.

Among the milestones reached in Aresco’s tenure have been the introduction of the American Athletic Conference Football Championship in 2015 and the launching of a dynamic Power 6 branding campaign, which aligns The American with its peer conferences and celebrates the competitive success that the conference has enjoyed at the highest level of col-legiate competition.

In the wake of the changes created by college sports realignment, Aresco has solidified the con-ference. He led negotiations that resulted in tele-vision contracts with ESPN and CBS Sports, which have given the conference unprecedented nation-al exposure and branding with the two industry leaders in sports television. Aresco organized the process whereby the conference was renamed the American Athletic Conference – a name that has been accepted nationally – and he also oversaw the process that resulted in the conference’s popular graphic identity.

He has also successfully worked with the con-ference 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 conference office

staff to maximize efficien-cy and better serve the needs of the membership.

Among his other signif-icant accomplishments on behalf of the American Athletic Conference were the spearheading of expansion efforts, which resulted in the addition of ECU, Tulane and Tulsa as of July 1, 2014, Navy as a football member in 2015, and Wichita State as a non-football-playing member in 2017; launch-ing the American Digital Network; successful site negotiations for the conference’s men’s and wom-en’s basketball championships; development of The American’s broad-based strategic plan, and the launching of a multifaceted brand marketing cam-paign.

Additionally, Aresco brokered a multi-year market-ing rights agreement with IMG College, the industry leader in collegiate sports marketing, and oversaw the development of The American’s new football bowl lineup, which features numerous annual match-ups against the nation’s other top conferences.

Aresco has played an active role in the forma-tion of the College Football Playoff, serving on the College Football Playoff Management Committee and helping to select the 13 members of the CFP Selection Committee. Aresco also serves on the College Football Playoff Site Selection, Strategic Planning and Public Relations committees. He was instrumental in securing the arrangement that

puts 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.

In basketball, Aresco has secured the confer-

ence’s participation in an officiating consortium

partnering with the Southeastern Conference and

the Atlantic Sun Conference to ensure that the

highest-quality game officials are assigned to

American Athletic Conference contests.

Aresco is a member of the Conference

Commissioners Association National Letter of

Intent Policy and Review Committee as well as

the CCA’s enforcement and women’s basketball

working groups. He serves on the board of manag-

ers for both College Football Officiating, 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 steering committee

of the Columbia University/New York City Chapter

of the National Football Foundation, serves on

the NFF’s screening committee 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 articulate

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 acqui-

sition and management of CBS Sports college

properties, including the NCAA Men’s Basketball

Championship, regular-season college basketball

and football, conference basketball championship

games, football bowl games and other program-

ming. His responsibilities included game selection

and scheduling, day-to-day operations, contract

negotiations, identification of future acquisitions,

development of programming strategies and coor-

dination 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 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. He also was a significant contributor in

the development 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 basketball

agreements with major conferences and negotiat-

ed 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 strate-

gies 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 Series and various profession-

al 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 college foot-

ball 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, Connecticut, for several

years.

Aresco has been a regular speaker and expert

panelist 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 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 2018 American Athletic Conference Baseball Championship will be played at Spectrum Field in Clearwater, Florida. The championship will take place May 22-27. Live coverage of the championship will be provided by The American Digital Network. Spectrum Field, which is regarded as one of the finest minor league playing and practice facilities in the nation, has hosted the American Athletic Conference Championship since 2014 and was the site of seven Big East Championships. Spectrum Field serves as the spring training site for the Philadelphia Phillies, and it has housed the Phillies’ Florida State League affiliate Clearwater Threshers since the facility opened in 2004. The stadium’s seating capacity is 8,500. The outfield dimensions measure 329 feet down the left field line, 408 feet to center, and 330 down the right field line. The $25 million facility features a 360-degree main concourse, grass berm seating, group picnic areas, a children’s play area and a state-of-the-art video scoreboard. In addition to a major-league quality playing field, the facility also houses the Carpenter Complex – an adjacent four-diamond practice complex, which allows teams to take full-field batting practice while a game is taking place in the stadium.

Eight teams will qualify for the 2018 American Athletic Conference Championship, which will utilize a double-elimination format in two brackets, leading up to the May 27 final.

No. 2 seed Houston captured its second American Athletic Conference Baseball Championship last season with a 6-0 victory against No. 8 seed ECU.
