I think its a great starting point for us.†An official logo will be unveiled in a few weeks, promoting the conference which will have 10 teams playing next fall in football, 11 in 2014 and 12 in 2015. You should read Aresco's full comments if you haven't. They're a hoot. From the CBS Sports story "We worked with our institutions, sports marketing experts, media partners, and also solicited opinions and reactions from collegiate sports fans to create a compelling list of names," commissioner Mike Aresco explained. "Versions that included the word 'American' led every list. American Athletic Conference represents a strong, durable and aspirational name for our reinvented Conference. "We engaged our fans through social media and focus groups in multiple cities, and we conducted extensive quantitative research," Aresco added. "We also received terrific input from our partners at ESPN and CBS Sports. Our name is a nod to tradition, but at the same time makes clear our determination to be a Conference with national impact and appeal. The American Athletic Conference will represent core American values of optimism, energy, growth and innovation. We have a broad geographical footprint that represents unity as well as diversity."

The only downside of the song? It is 10+ minutes long. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EReWi009IL4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
