AMERICAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE
WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL
Not entirely unlike the nation that provides its namesake, the American Athletic Conference was born from an ideal in which members with ambitious goals are provided with the means to succeed in their quests for excellence.
As The American embarks on its first year, there is a new era that begins. But the new branding will be able to draw on the rich tradition that already exists among the 10 women’ volleyball programs competing this year.
With roots that extend to three conferences, the American Athletic Conference membership in 2013 – its debut season – consists of 10 institutions: the University of Central Florida, the University of Cincinnati, the University of Connecticut, the University of Houston, the University of Louisville, the University of Memphis, Rutgers University, Southern Methodist University, the University of South Florida and Temple University. All 10 institutions will field women’s volleyball teams in the initial year of the conference.
Louisville highlights the group of schools coming off a strong season, advancing to the second round of the NCAA tournament. The Cardinals were ranked as high as No. 9 in the nation and won the BIG EAST regular season and the conference tournament. Six schools had winning records, while two programs finished in the top 100 in the RPI.
In 2014-15, East Carolina University, Tulane University and the University of Tulsa come aboard. The 2015-16 season sees the U.S. Naval Academy join the ranks in football only. The American, which operated as the Big East Conference from 1979 to 2013, will immediately take a place at the forefront of Division I athletics, with schools that have played in a combined five Bowl Championship Series games, won four NCAA men’s basketball titles since 1999, and won eight NCAA women’s basketball championships since 1995. The 2013 season will mark the final year of a six-year arrangement with ESPN that gives The American national exposure on ABC television and the ESPN family of networks. ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC will carry a minimum of 19 American home football games each season. Championship Week in December includes three American games on either ABC, ESPN or ESPN2. At least four American games are featured on ESPN’s Thursday-night package. In addition, ESPN Regional Television will continue to produce and distribute its Game of the Week package to a nationally syndicated audience, reaching more than 30 million homes. Most of these games also will be available as part of the ESPN GamePlan subscription service. Finally, a minimum of five home games will be carried on ESPNU.
The conference’s regular season champion will be rewarded with an automatic berth into the NCAA championship.The 2013 regular season will be highly competitive, and provide schools with the opportunity to make their mark in the debut year of the American Athletic Conference. 2013 Preseason AVCA Coaches Poll School Rank 1 Texas 55 2 Penn State (3) 3 Stanford (2) 4 Southern California 5 Washington 6 Minnesota 7 Michigan 8 Oregon 9 Florida 10 Nebraska 11 Hawaii 12 UCLA 13 BYU 14 Michigan State 15 Iowa State 16 Purdue 17 Kentucky 18 Florida State 19 Louisville 20 Kansas 21 Western Kentucky 22 Dayton 23 Ohio State 24 Wichita State 25 Creighton () - First Place Votes

Mike Aresco, one of the most influential leaders in sports television and collegiate sports, was named Commissioner of the Big East Conference on August 14, 2012, and has overseen the successful rebranding of the league as the American Athletic Conference. In his first year as commissioner, Aresco has overseen a strategic reinvention of the Conference which will keep The American at the forefront of Division I college athletics. By the 2015-16 academic year, the American Athletic Conference will include 11 all-sports members and Navy as a football-playing member. The Conference will launch a football championship game for the first time in 2015 and is the first league to explore staging its own postseason bowl game. 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 arrangement 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. 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, who were referred to unofficially as the Catholic 7. He simultaneously led the negotiations that resulted in television contracts with ESPN and CBS Sports, which will give the American Athletic Conference unprecedented national exposure with the two industry 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 in the college landscape – and he also oversaw the process that resulted in the new 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 cur-
rent 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 was the spearheading of expansion efforts, which resulted in the addition of Tulane University and the University of Tulsa and the transition to membership in all sports for East Carolina University, which was originally admitted to the league for football only; the planning for a conference digital network; successful negotiations for the 2014 men’s and women’s basketball championships at FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tenn., and Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., respectively; and the launching of a brand marketing campaign. He is currently working on the conference’s future bowl lineup. Aresco came to the conference from CBS Sports where he was Executive Vice President, Programming. 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 Championship, regular-season college basketball and football, conference basketball championship games, football bowl games and other programming. His responsibilities included game selection and scheduling, day-to-day operations, contract negotiations, identification of future acquisitions, development of programming strategies 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 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 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 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 15year agreement with the Southeastern Conference to televise the league’s football and
w w w.t h e a m e r i c a n . o r g
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, including the Big East, ACC, Big Ten, Pac-12 and Big 12. Aresco recently 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, the critically- acclaimed college football show, as well as Courtside with Seth Davis, a highly-regarded weekly show devoted to college basketball, both of which air 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. 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 acquisition, scheduling 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 10, and Pac-10 college football, 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 architect 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 Law School (J.D.). He practiced law privately in Hartford, Conn., for several years. Aresco and his wife, Sharon, have two adult sons, Matthew, an Emmy-nominated television producer who owns a production company in Connecticut, and Brett, an aspiring actor who lives in New York City.

KNI GH TS K N I G H TS N OTE B OO K • Junior DeLaina Sarden is coming off a tremendous two-way season that saw her record 269 kills and 127 combined blocks. That effort allowed her to be an AVCA All-America Honorable mention and Conference USA First Team player. Sarden was the only Knight to start every match and play in every set in 2012. • Senior Angelica Crump has 1,094 career kills which ranks her seventh all-time in school history and third all-time in the rallyscoring era. Crump needs 403 kills to become the school’s all-time leader in kills for the rally-scoring era. • The Knights are looking to reach the NCAA tournament for the first time since the 2003 season. Under head coach Todd Dagenais, the Knights have improved tremendously. In the two years before Dagenais took over, UCF went a combined 1-31 in conference play. The Knights have recorded three-consecutive winning seasons.

Sophomore Immanuella Anagu was UConn’s most efficient offensive weapon a year ago, leading the way with her .286 hitting percentage spread out over 142 kills (1.61 k/s). • Sophomore Marissa Prinzbach finished last season with 874 assists, and her 9.93 assists per set put her 12th among all freshmen in the country. Junior Brianna Datti is UConn’s returning leader in digs after tallying 247 in 2012.

ca rd ina ls C A R D I N A L S N OTE B OO K • The Cardinals are coming off a historic 2012 season in which they won the BIG EAST regular season and tournament crowns, a first in school history. The Cards also posted a school record high RPI of 4 and set new season and single match attendance records. • Louisville returns three members of the USA Volleyball A2 National Team, one of just two schools that sent three players, as Brooke Mattingly and Hannah Kvitle won the gold in Dallas. Caitlin Welch, the 2012 Honorable Mention All-America libero, was on the only team to beat the gold medal team. • The Cardinals’ 2013 schedule boasts some of the toughest teams in the nation with matches against Penn State, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pepperdine, Northern Iowa, Wichita State, and Bowling Green as nonconference opponents. • The Cardinals are back in the KFC YUM! Center for the fall coming off a 30-4 record in 2012, the fifth 30 + win season in program history.

TIGERS T I G E R S N OTE B OO K • With just two starters returning from the 2012 squad, Memphis will rely heavily on youth from a roster that includes just five upperclassmen. • The Tigers graduated three of their top four hitters from last season, two of whom went down in the top 10 in the school record books for career kills – Altrese Hawkins (1,806, 1st) and Mariya Jovanovic (1,285, 10th). • Several returning Tigers placed themselves among the top in Conference USA in 2012. Libero Aleksandra Petronijevic finished the season third in the league in digs with 543 and eighth in service aces with 31. Petronijevic also posted two of the top four single-game dig marks in school history with 36 digs against UAB and 33 versus Marshall. Middle blocker Katie Meyer finished ninth in C-USA in total blocks with 97 in 2012. Middle blocker and right side hitter Lauren Hawkins returns as the team’s leader in hitting percentage from a season ago with a .248.

Scarlet knights S C A R L ET K N I G H TS N OTE B OO K • Rutgers will look to continue its success after having one of its best seasons in recent history in 2012. The Scarlet Knights won 18 matches, their most since the 2000 squad recorded 23, and notched their first winning season (18-12) since the 2004 team went 16-10. • The Scarlet Knights return plenty of experience, bringing back 11 letterwinners. Rutgers also added depth, welcoming six newcomers. • Senior Tracy Wright returns after posting a team-high 356 digs in an injury-shortened 2012 season, ranking seventh on Rutgers’ single-season digs list. Offensively, the Scarlet Knights bring back sophomore Alex Lassa, who led the team with 3.43 kills per set in 2012.
