ABOUT THE AMERICAN 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.

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 Athletic Conference Football Championship, which will be played Dec. 5, 2015, will be carried on either ABC or ESPN on Championship Saturday.

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.

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.

2015 VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE

MICHAEL L. ARESCO Mike Aresco has established himself as one of the leading figures in intercollegiate sports as commissioner 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 remarkable 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 football championship game for the first time in 2015 and the league’s successful staging of its own postseason 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 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 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 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 site negotiations 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 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 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 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. Aresco has played an active role in the formation 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 Television and Site Selection committees. In basketball, Aresco has secured the conference’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-quality game officials are assigned to American Athletic Conference contests. Aresco is a member of the Conference Commissioners Association enforcement working group and women’s basketball working group. He serves on the board of managers 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 and serves on the board of the National Sports Marketing Network. Aresco has been a leader in the NCAA governance 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 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 20 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 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 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 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 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 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 has his own production company in Connecticut, and Brett, an actor who lives in New York City.

2015 VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE

AME ERICAN DIGITAL NETWORK E The most in-depth coverage of the American Athletic Conference can be found on The American Digital Network, the over-the-top streaming video platform of The American and its 12 member institutions. The American has extended its partnership with L2 Productions to provide video production services for more than 65 events annually on The American Digital Network through the 2018-19 academic year. The American and L2 Productions have collaborated on live video production of regular-season and championship events for the past two years. The American Digital Network produced 65 live events in 2014-15 and plans to showcase at least 80 for the 2015-16 season. All events are carried by professional-grade, multiple-camera productions which include accomplished play-by-play announcers and expert analysts. As a result of the partnership, The American Digital Network will provide complete live video coverage of The American’s postseason championships in cross country, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, and rowing. The ADN will also provide coverage of any games of the conference’s women’s soccer, men’s soccer, softball and baseball championships that are not carried by one of the conference’s television partners. Additionally, The American Digital Network will provide coverage of

25 regular-season women’s basketball games as well as select regular-season contests in soccer, volleyball, softball and baseball. The ADN will have full wraparound coverage of The American’s postseason championships in football and men’s and women’s basketball. In addition to its coverage of regular-season and championship events, The American Digital Network is the home for on-demand previews and game highlights as well as “The Rise,” a weekly look at the conference that includes scores, highlights and feature stories. The American Digital Network is also the primary source for coverage of the conference’s football and basketball media days. Coverage in 2015 will include live segments from the podium, including roundtable discussions with The American’s head coaches and the opening remarks by commissioner Mike Aresco. All of The American Digital Network productions are available on desktop, tablet, mobile and Roku devices at no charge. The ADN will include DVR functionality and immediate access to archived replays beginning in the 2015-16 season.

NEWS & NOTES • Houston Volleyball returns nine letterwinners including four starters from last season. The top returners include senior Olivia O’Dell who will replace Natalie Keck at the Libero position. • The Cougars add five newcomers to the 2015 roster including Division I transfer sophomore middle/hitter Shelby Harper. The 6-2 junior adds height to the front line of defense and can also lay down a ball when needed.

• With the loss of Kadi Kullerkann, Palmer will add height to the front line and help with the Cougars offense. • There will be a battle for the starting position at the setter spot as Keandra McCardell and Sophie Paine both return for the Cougars.

• For the incoming freshmen, Head Coach Kaddie Platt added two defensive specialists (Darby Shaw & Kendall Montgomery) a setter (Katie Krebs) and an huge outside hitter (Brookah Palmer).

NEWS & NOTES • Memphis returns 10 letterwinners from last season’s 23-11 squad that, with a conference mark of 13-7, is won more games in conference play than any other Tigers team in school history. • Memphis lost four starters – two-time all-conference honoree Lauren Wright, all-conference honoree Aleksandra Petronijevic, Alexis Wesley, one of the program’s best blockers, and transfer Kate Gibson. Petronijevic left Memphis as the program’s all-time career digs leader (2,335) and who will step in to her role in the Tigers’ serve-receive game is a key question heading in to 2015. • Redshirt senior Veronica Zimmerman

returns for her final collegiate season. The senior setter comes in to the year with 3,225 career assists, which currently ranks fourth in the Memphis career record book. Last season, Zimmerman dished out 1,397 assists (10.5/set). She’ll have some new targets this season with two starters at middle hitter and a new outside hitter to replace the 1,186 swings taken last year by Kate Gibson. • Oluchi Agomuo is poised to build on a big freshman campaign. Agomuo ranked second on the team with 2.58 kills per game last year, hitting .190 while playing in 130 of 133 games during the season. Catlin Lilly will also look to lead from the outside. The junior was coming back

MARK HARLAN Director of Athletics

COURTNEY DRAPER Head Coach

MARK HEISE Sports Information Director

NEWS & NOTES • An influx of talent over the last two offseasons gives the Bulls 12 players with one year’s experience or less in a Bulls’ jersey. After bringing in a very talented recruiting class of six in 2014, head coach Courtney Draper added six more this season, including three bigname transfers who are immediately eligible.It’s just Draper’s third recruiting class at USF, but it may be her best, with six potential immediate-impact players spanning five different positions. • The last time Elyse Panick and Dakota Hampton were on the same team, they were hoisting a National Championship trophy for their volleyball club. Now juniors in college, the two are reunited as

Panick transfers from Marshall (where she led the offense) to USF to provide a big left arm on the right side for USF • Panick and Hampton aren’t the only group rejoining from their club days... Alex Mendoza, Alexus Heidelberg and Clara Payne all played for the same club team, and while Denise Belcher didn’t play WITH Heidelberg, the two have certainly squared off against each other plenty of times during their club playing days. Two of the best arms on their respective teams in college, Heidelberg and Belcher will join forces for the first time this season at USF.

NEWS & NOTES • Morgan Heise was named 2014 American Athletic Conference Libero of the Year after setting an SMU single-season record with 626 digs as a sophomore. She has a season-high 38 digs in a fiveset win at Arkansas, and also finished with 36 in four-sets at Connecticut. • Avery Acker earned her second straight All-America honorable mention after leading The American with 1,413 assists, a league record and third all-time in a season at SMU. She recorded 902 in conference matches. Acker tallied a season-high 62 assists against New Mexico, and eclipsed 50 six times. • The Mustangs won a program-best 26

matches, including a record 15 at home. An SMU-record 11-match win streak highlighted the season. A 3-2 victory over then-No. 24 Oklahoma, the programs first over an AVCA Top-25 team, propelled the Mustangs into the AVCA poll for the first time in school history, receiving votes for three weeks. • SMU returns three of its four All-Conference selections from 2014, including Libero of the Year Morgan Heise. Setter Avery Acker joined Heise on the first team, and middle blocker Janelle Giordano was named to the second team. Caroline Young, a first-team selection, concluded her senior year with a second All-America honorable mention.

NEWS & NOTES • Temple volleyball is coming off its best season in over 10 years. The 2014 squad exceeded expectations, posting a 24-8 overall record with a 15-5 mark in the American Athletic Conference. After being picked to finish ninth in the 2014 preseason poll, the Owls tied for second place in the conference. • The cherry and white return a veteran squad, losing only one starter to graduation. Senior setter Sandra Sydlik returns after a breakout season that saw the Germany-native earn AVCA All-Region honors, as well as American Athletic Conference Setter of the Year and FirstTeam All-Conference honors. The Owls also return three players who earned

All-Conference honors last season, junior middle blocker, Kirsten Overton, junior outside hitter Tyler Davis, and sophomore outside hitter Dara Peric. Peric is the returning American Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year. • Temple will face perhaps its toughest schedule in 2015 with a competitive non-conference slate that includes match-ups with three NCAA tournament teams from a year ago (Oregon, Seton Hall, Hofsta). Following the non-conference matches, the Owls start their third season in the competitive American Athletic Conference, which returns five teams that finished with RPI of 100 or lower in 2014.
