American Athletic Conference Concludes Successful 2021 Annual Meeting

IRVING, Texas – The American Athletic Conference presidents, athletic directors, senior woman administrators and faculty athletic representatives concluded the conference’s annual meetings on Thursday poised to continue the remarkable record of success in The American through its first eight years.

Meetings were held virtually from June 1-3, during which The American adopted a number of initiatives to further strengthen itself as one of the leading conferences in FBS and Division I. The meetings came on the heels of another highly successful season that saw The American place a team (Cincinnati) in a New Year’s Six bowl for the fourth consecutive year and also saw men’s basketball teams reach the Final Four (Houston) and win the NIT championship (Memphis).
