The American Athletic Conference consists of 12 prestigious in-stitutions: the University of Central Florida, the University of Cin-cinnati, 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 Ameri-can Athletic Conference has written an impressive list of accom-plishments, both in the competitive arena and the classroom. In the course of its first three seasons, 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 – two New Year’s Six bowl champions, 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, reached the semifinal and final rounds of the NIT, qualified for the match play round of the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship and registered a top-10 finish at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championship.

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. The Ameri-can was the only entity from college athletics to be so honored.

In football, three American Athletic Conference teams were in the final College Football Playoff rankings of 2015, while two teams from The American were ranked in the top 20 of the final national polls in both 2013 and 2015. Eight of The American’s 12 football teams played in bowl games to cap the 2015 season as Houston defeated Florida State in the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl and Navy beat Pittsburgh in the Military Bowl. Houston’s finish at No. 8 nationally

gave The American a top-10 team in the final national polls for the second time in the league’s three seasons. UCF finished No. 10 in the 2013 rankings after the Knights’ Fiesta Bowl win against Baylor.

In 2014, The American had the best men’s basketball postseason record of any league, when conference teams were a combined 13-4, and the league sent four teams to the 2016 NCAA Champi-onship. Teams from The American have registered top-10 national rankings in football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, base-ball, men’s soccer, men’s golf, and men’s track and field.

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 con-ference, 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.

That kind of success has led to an across-the-board increase in football attendance. The American Athletic Conference had four of the top six teams in average attendance gain from 2015 to 2016, while the conference as a whole realized a 9.1-percent increase at the turnstiles. Cincinnati, Houston and Temple all set single-game attendance records at their respective facilities

Under The American’s banner, 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 NCAA-record ninth, 10th and 11th national champion-ships.

American Athletic Conference student-athletes have distin-guished themselves in all facets of intercollegiate athletics. Temple linebacker Tyler Matakevich won the Bednarik Award and the Na-gurski 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 fin-ished 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 was one of 12 finalists nationally for the Campbell Trophy, which is presented by the National Foot-ball Foundation to the top scholar-athlete in college football. Tulsa soccer standout Katy Riojas was the winner of the 2016 NCAA Walter Byers Postgraduate Scholarship, while Golden Hurricane rower Emalia Seto won the 2016 NCAA Jim McKay Scholarship. Two student-athletes from The American earned NCAA Postgradu-ate Scholarships in the conference’s first three years.

American Athletic Conference alumni have made their mark in professional sports as well. UCF quarterback Blake Bortles was se-lected by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the No. 3 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. More recently, a number of American Athletic Confer-ence athletes have been selected in the first round of the profes-sional entry drafts in football, basketball, baseball and soccer. The American has had two first-round picks in football in each of the last three seasons, while the conference produced four first-round picks, including the top three selections, in the 2016 WNBA Draft.

The American Athletic Conference holds media rights partner-ships 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 American Athletic Conference Football Championship, which was played in 2015, was 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 slot-ted 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 nation-al 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 represen-tative 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 Con-ference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference and the Sun Belt Conference.

Additionally, The American holds primary or secondary partner-ships with 12 bowls for the current six-year cycle, ensuring multiple annual matchups against the nation’s top conferences and provid-ing desirable postseason destinations to member institutions and their fans.

The American Athletic Conference serves 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, which serves as the home of The American Digital Network, and meeting rooms to accommodate the many coaches’ and adminis-trators’ meetings held on-site each year.

The average home crowd in The American was 31,842 in 2015 after an average of 21,193 in 2014.

In Philadelphia, the Temple-Notre Dame game drew a 17.6 local rating which, by far, was ABC’s highest recorded rating for a regular-season college football game in the nation’s No. 4 designated market area. The game also provided the backdrop for ESPN College GameDay, which was staged from Independence Mall.

Memphis’ Oct. 17 win against Mississippi attracted a 22.6 rating and a 39 share in the Memphis DMA, while the Tigers also earned local ratings of 12.0 or better for their conference games against Cincinnati and Tulsa on ESPN.

The American Athletic Conference Championship had a television audience of 2.4 million viewers, while the regular-season finale between Houston and Navy drew 3.1 million viewers.

American IdolsKeep an eye on these American Athletic Conference players, who could challenge for All-America honors in 2016.

Jordan Akins, TE, UCFThe 6-3, 240-pound Akins was off to a terrific start to the 2015 season (14 rec., 152 yards, two TDs in two games) before an injury on the opening kickoff of the following game ended his year.

Chart ToppersThe American Athletic Conference has had a team finish in the national top 10 of the Associated Press and USA Today polls in two of its first three seasons. Houston was No. 8 in the final polls of 2015, while UCF was No. 10 to close the 2013 season.

The American placed two teams in the top 20 of the final national polls in each of those years.

Breaking GroundSince the formation of The American, several teams have enjoyed unprecedented success in FBS football. Hous-ton (13), Navy (11) and Temple (10) all set or tied school records for wins in 2015. Memphis won 10 games in the 2014 season to match its school record, set in 1938.

IndividualismIn its first three seasons, American Athletic Conference football players have earned some of college football’s most pretigious individual awards. Former Temple line-backer Tyler Matakevich won the Bedarik Award and the Nagurski Trophy as the nation’s top defensive player in 2015, while former Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting and won the AAU Sullivan Award as the nation’s top amateur athlete. Former Memphis punter Tom Hornsey was chosen as the 2013 Ray Guy Award winner as the nation’s top punter.

Draft StatusThe American Athletic Conference has had at least two players chosen in the first round of each of the last three NFL drafts. Former Houston cornerback William Jackson III was taken at No. 24 overall by the Cincinnati Bengals, while former Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch went at No. 26 to the Denver Broncos in the 2016 draft. The American has had three quarterbacks taken in the first round in its first three seasons.

Welcome AboardThe American Athletic Conference will introduce four new head coaches in 2016. Former Oregon offensive coordinator Scott Frost takes over at UCF,. Former Duke offensive coordinator Scottie Montgomery is the new head coach at East Caorlina. Mike Norvell, most recently the offensive coordinator at Arizona State, is the head coach at Memphis, while former Georgia Southern coach Willie Fritz is the new man at Tulane.

Giant KillersUConn was the only team to defeat Houston in the Cou-gars’ 13-1 season last year. The Huskies also were the only American Athletic Conference team to defeat UCF, when the Knights went 7-1 in conference play in 2015.

Three GrandTulsa quarterback Dane Evans looks to become the first Golden Hurricane player to throw for 3,000 yards in three separate seasons. Evans ranked eighth nationally with 4,332 passing yards last season.

Dual ThreatsTwo returing American Athletic Conference quarter-backs — Houston’s Greg Ward Jr. and USF’s Quinton Flowers — rankd among the conference’s top 10 players in both rushing and passing in 2015. SMU quarterback Matt Davis finished as the Mustangs’ leading rusher and passer as well.

Championship WeekThe second American Athletic Conference Football Championship will take place Dec. 3, 2016, at the home venue of the divisional champion with the best record in conference games. The game will take place at noon ET and will be televised on either ABC or ESPN. Houston defeated Temple 24-13 at TDECU Stadium to win last year’s inaugural championship.

Rising StarsHere are some American Athletic Confer-ence players who could be poised for breakout seasons in 2016.

Tre’Quan Smith, So., WR, UCFSmith was The American’s Rookie of the Year in 2015 after he caught 52 passes for 724 yards and four TDs as a true freshman.

Cortez Broughton So., DT, CincinnatiBroughton made 11 starts as a redshirt freshman last year and will be a key factor on an experienced Bearcat defensive line.

E.J. Levenberry, Jr., LB, UConnLevenberry played all 13 games for Florida State’s national championship team in 2014 and strengthens a solid group of linebackers.

Phillp Nelson, Jr., QB, East CarolinaNelson, who was a two-year starter at Minnesota, could be next in line on East Carolina’s list of talented quarterbacks.

Will Noble, So., C, HoustonNoble showed poise and ability as a true freshman as he stepped in to earn Fresh-man All-America honors on an offensive line unit that was beset with injuries in 2015.

Riley Ferguson, Jr., QB, MemphisFerguson threw for 2,942 yards and 35 touchdowns at Coffeyville CC and should step right into the starting lineup following the departure of Paxton Lynch to the NFL.

Tago Smith, Sr., QB, NavySmith saw limited action behind Heisman Trophy candidate Keenan Reynolds, but was effective in spot duty and has the keys to the Midshipmen’s offense as a senior.

Rodney Adams, Sr., WR, USFThe Bulls’ turnaround last year coincided with the strong second-half play of Adams, who had 822 yards and nine TDs as a junior.

Courtland Sutton, So., WR, SMUSutton tied for the conference lead with nine touchdown catches as a true fresh-man and emerged as a big-play threat from the outset.

Ventell Bryant, So., WR, TempleBryant set school records for receptions (39) and receivng yards (579) by a freshman and should be a focal point of the Owls’ offense as a sophomore.

Dontrell Hilliard, Jr., RB, TulaneHilliard rushed for 646 yards last year and should thrive in the run-oriented offense of new coach Willie Fritz.

Jeremy Smith, Jr., DE, TulsaSmith had 6.5 tackles for loss last year and should be a big part of the Golden Hurri-cane’s veteran defense in 2016.

Quinton Flowers, USF

NEWSOME

STORYLINESThe Huskies returned to a bowl game for the first time since 2010 by winning three of their final four games of the regular season.

UConn has handed the eventual American Ath-letic Conference champion its only conference loss in two of the league’s first three seasons (UCF in 2013 and Houston in 2015).

RB Arkeel Newsome was the conference leader in all-purpose yards in 2015 (129.7 ypg).

CB Jamar Summers led The American with eight interceptions in 2015.

UConn’s two returning starters at linebacker will be joined by LB E.J. Levenberry, who is a transfer from Florida State.

STORYLINESEast Carolina welcomes head coach Scottie Montgomery, who had been the offensive co-ordinator for the most successful era at Duke in program history.

QB Philip Nelson started 16 games at Minnesota from 2012-13 and could emerge as the Pirates’ starter in 2016. Nelson threw nine touchdown passes and rushed for six TDs in 2013.

WR Zay Jones, a fourth-year starter, enters 2016 in third place on East Carolina’s career recep-tions (241) and receiving yards (2,553) charts.

East Carolina has made eight bowl appearances in the last 10 seasons. The Pirates dropped four of their last five games in 2015 to miss the post-season for the first time since 2011.

STORYLINESHead coach Mike Norvell, most recently the deputy head coach and offensive coordinator at Arizona State, begins his first year at Memphis.

The Tigers have won a combined 19 games in the last two seasons — the most in program history in a two-year span. Memphis was ranked as high as No. 13 nationally last season.

Memphis won its first eight games of 2015, but dropped four of its last five to close the season.

K Jake Elliott has been The American’s Special Teams Player of the Year twice (2014, 2015) and was a finalist for the Lou Groza Award as the nation’s top kicker. He was an Associated Press and Walter Camp All-America second team selection in 2015.
