2013-14 American Athletic Conference Men’s Basketball • 1
THE AMERICAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE 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. 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. 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. Among the league’s 2013 members, seven of The American’s 10 football teams have been ranked in the top 13 in the BCS since 2006. Eight of the 10 teams have been in the BCS top 25 in that span. The 2013-14 membership will also include the most recent NCAA men’s basketball (Louisville) and women’s basketball (UConn) champions. 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. Following the 2013 football season, the American Athletic Conference enters new television partnerships with ESPN and CBS Sports
which will give the conference unprecedented national exposure. The football portion of the contract, which begins in the 2014 season, 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 in 2015, will be carried either on ABC or ESPN on Championship Saturday. In men’s basketball, the new 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 either on ABC or ESPN. Sixty percent of the American’s women’s basketball games will be carried on either national cable, regional sports networks or ESPN3. American Athletic Conference teams will have access to the pinnacle of college football’s postseason structure, both in the coming season and beyond. In 2013-14, the league champion will receive an automatic bid for the final edition of the Bowl Championship Series, including a spot in the VIZIO National Championship Game if it is ranked No. 1 or No. 2 in the final BCS standings. Moving forward, The American champion would be chosen for the College Football Playoff semifinals if it is among the top four teams following the regular season. Otherwise, the league would place its champion in either the Cotton Bowl, Fiesta Bowl or 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. The American has additional partnerships with a number of bowl games that match conference teams against opponents from the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big 12 Conference, the Southeastern Conference and Conference USA. The Russell Athletic Bowl has the first selection of American teams after the conference’s BCS representative is determined. The Atlantic Coast Conference will provide the opposition for the Russell Athletic Bowl, which is played in Orlando, Fla. The American also is
2 • 2013-14 American Athletic Conference Men’s Basketball
a partner with the Belk Bowl in Charlotte, N.C. Played in Bank of America Stadium, the Belk Bowl will select its American Athletic Conference participant after the Russell Athletic Bowl with the ACC again providing the opponent. The American and the Big 12 conferences partner for the New Era Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium in New York City. In the event that the Big 12 is unable to send an eligible team to the New Era Pinstripe Bowl, Notre Dame could step in as the American team’s opponent. An American representative will face either an opponent from the Southeastern Conference or the Conference USA champion as part of arrangements with the BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham, Ala., and the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis. The league also holds a partnership with the Beef ‘O’Brady’s Bowl at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. The Beef ‘O’Brady’s Bowl pairs the American representative against an opponent from Conference USA. The postseason lineup gives American Athletic Conference teams access to at least six postseason games. 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 and small- and large-scale meeting rooms to accommodate the many coaches’ and administrators’ meetings held on-site each year.
Commissioner Mike Aresco
CONFERENCE STAFF Mike Aresco Commissioner 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 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
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. 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, dayto-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 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, 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.

AMERICAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE NOTEBOOK Introduction The 2013-14 season will be the first for the American Athletic Conference. The American consists of 10 Division I teams that will play 18 conference games as part of a double-round-robin schedule. The final regular-season standings will be used to seed the American Athletic Conference Championship — the single-elimination tournament that will determine the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Championship. What’s In A Name? The American Athletic Conference existed as the Big East Conference from 1979 through June 30, 2013. The league formally changed its name as of July 1. Who We Are Five American Athletic Conference teams — Cincinnati, UConn, Louisville, Rutgers and USF — competed in the Big East Conference last season. Four teams — UCF, Houston, Memphis and SMU — played in Conference USA. Temple was a member of the Atlantic-10 Conference last season. Thirtysomething The American Athletic Conference is one of two Division I conferences that has two teams that won 30 games last year. Louisville went 35-5 overall while Memphis was 31-5. The ACC also has two 30-win teams from last season (Duke, Syracuse). 20/20 Seven American Athletic Conference teams won at least 20 games last season (UCF, Cincinnati, UConn, Houston, Louisville, Memphis, Temple). Been There, Done That Eight American Athletic Conference teams have reached the NCAA Final Four (Cincinnati, UConn, Houston, Louisville, Memphis, Rutgers, SMU, Temple). Cutting The Nets Three American Athletic Conference schools have won the NCAA Championship a combined eight times. Cincinnati won in 1961 and 1962, UConn claimed the title in 1999, 2004 and 2011, while Louisville cut the nets in 1980, 1986 and 2013.
The One And Only The American is the only conference in 2013-14 that will feature two conference champions from last season.

AMERICAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE NOTEBOOK Games To Watch In 2013-14 A number of intriguing matchups dot the schedule in the first season of the American Athletic Conference.
November 8: UConn vs. Maryland The season officially tips off at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 8 with a matchup of 20-win teams from last season. The Huskies will be looking for their first win over the Terps since 1995 in the battle at the Barclays Center. November 19: Memphis vs. Oklahoma State The Tigers get an early nonconference challenge earlier in the Cowboys, one of the favorites in the Big 12. Memphis’ talented backcourt will be tasked with facing heralded sophomore Marcus Smart, an AP second team All-American last season. December 14: Cincinnati vs. Xavier Cincinnati, a former member of the Big East, takes on Xavier, which is a new member of the Big East. After a victory last season, the Bearcats will enter this season’s edition of the annual rivalry looking for their 50th alltime win in the series. The two campuses are separated by just three miles. December 17: Cincinnati vs. Pittsburgh The Jimmy V Classic held at Madison Square Garden this season will feature two contests and two American Athletic Conference teams. The first features the Bearcats against a former Big East rival in the Panthers, who begin their first season in the ACC.
December 17: Memphis vs. Florida The nightcap of the Jimmy V Classic brings a big matchup in the Big Apple. The Tigers will try and cage Patric Young and the Gators, who advanced to the Elite Eight last season. December 28: Louisville at Kentucky The annual classic between these two rivals — and the last two NCAA champions — will take place in Lexington this season. The Cardinals will challenge a talented yet youthful Wildcats team, who bring in a highly regarded recruiting class. December 31: Louisville at UCF The first conference games in the American history come on New Year’s Eve, and the first tip sends the defending champions to Orlando, where they will tangle with a talented Knights squad, highlighted by guard Isaiah Sykes. January 4: UConn at SMU SMU has high expectations for the second season under Hall of Fame head coach Larry Brown, but the excitement will peak in January with the opening of a newly renovated Moody Coliseum. The Huskies visit as the Mustangs unveil the trappings of a $47 million renovation and numerous new and improved features.
March 1: Louisville at Memphis This game should be vitally important in the conference race. The Cardinals and Tigers are both conference favorites, and Louisville face the Tigers in Memphis for the second straight year after a 87-78 win at the FedEx Forum last year. The full schedule for the American includes a number of other intriguing matchups. Temple heads to the Palestra for a game against La Salle that will be featured on ESPN College GameDay. Two other matchups will enjoy visits from ESPN College GameDay, as the crew will travel from Philadelphia to Storrs, Conn., for the UConn–Louisville game. The following month, GameDay visits FedEx Forum for a duel between Memphis and Gonzaga. Rutgers is part of the NIT Season Tip-Off, which could pair the Scarlet Knights against Arizona, Duke, or Alabama in the semifinals at Madison Square Garden. And depending on the matchups, the third weekend of November may feature basketball titans squaring off with UConn against Indiana and Louisville facing North Carolina.
Familiar Faces Sean Kilpatrick and Cincinnati will renew acquaintances with Pittsburgh Dec. 17 in New York. 12 • 2013-14 American Athletic Conference Men’s Basketball
