As the American Athletic Conference continues to figure out its increasingly murky future, Commissioner Mike Aresco once again found himself at the center of conference realignment talk this week.
Aresco was sent a letter by Conference USA on Tuesday night that proposed a potential merger of the two conferences and urged Aresco to engage in talks with C-USA about the possibility of reorganization.
Aresco on Wednesday said he was “not interested” in engaging in C-USA’s proposal. He reiterated his belief the AAC will survive the loss of three member schools — Cincinnati, Houston and Central Florida — and become a major conference.
