MEDIA GUIDE

AMERICAN ATHLETIC CONFER EN C E In football, two American Athletic Conference football teams #AmericanRising 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 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. 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 basketball 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 College 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 professional 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 Seattle 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.

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 advanced 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 ranking. The UConn women’s basketball team won its NCAArecord ninth and 10th national championships as a member of The American. The American Athletic Conference holds media rights partnerships 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 Athletic Conference Football Championship, which will be played Dec. 5, 2015, will be carried on either ABC or ESPN on 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 will be televised, including the championship game, which will be on ABC or ESPN. Sixty percent of the American’s women’s basketball 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 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 either the Vizio Fiesta Bowl or the Chickfil-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 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 and their fans. The American Athletic Conference administers to its membership 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 International 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’ meetings held on-site each year.

@AMERICAN_SBALL 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 con-

ferences. 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-itskind 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 14year 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 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 lives in Connecticut with his wife, Elizabeth; and Brett, an actor who lives in New York City.

N ote b ook • East Carolina is under new leadership this season as Courtney Oliver takes the reigns of the program. She spent the last three seasons as the pitching coach at NC State and helped to Wolfpack to its first-ever Super Regional appearances last season. • The Pirates return 15 student-athletes from last year’s squad, including seven positional starters and two pitchers.

N ote b ook • Memphis returns a pair of American Athletic Conference honorees from last season. Kyler Trosclair was named the league’s Rookie of the Year and led Memphis at leadoff hitter with a .312 batting average. Also back is second team, all-conference honoree Katie Brignac. As a freshman, the pitcher was one of the team’s most reliable hitters with runners in scoring position with a .441 average with runners in scoring position. • After being down to just one catcher last year due to injury, the Tigers added depth there this year, and will have junior college All-American Brittany Seale and freshman Regan Hadley there in addition to junior Haleigh Ross, who started 45 of 46 games for Memphis last year. • Memphis added a pair of newcomers in January of 2016. In a first for the Tiger softball team, incoming freshmen asked coach Natalie Poole about graduating early and enrolling in January. Both pitcher Adriana Morgan and catcher Regan Hadley graduated a semester early from high school, and rather than playing their first collegiate semesters in 2017, are eligible and on the roster in 2016 instead.

Notebook • Head coach Ken Eriksen is in his 20th season as USF head coach and is the most winningest coach in all sports at USF after eclipsing the 800 win mark in 2015. • The Bulls return two all-conference selections from 2015. Lee Ann Spivey earned first team honors while Kristen Wyckoff was named to the second-team. • The Bulls will have one of the toughest schedules in the nation as they face four teams from the 2015 WCWS field and 15 teams that made the NCAA tournament in 2015. • Senior Lee Ann Spivey needs just 12 home runs to become the all-time home run leader at USF.
