American, SEC Form Men's Basketball Scheduling Alliance

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The American Athletic Conference and Southeastern Conference (SEC) have agreed to a nonconference men's basketball scheduling alliance that features four teams from each conference playing home-and-home series over the course of each of the next two seasons.

The SEC/American Alliance matchups for the 2019-20 season will be officially announced in late May. The schools will then proceed to determine dates for these games, and all four showdowns will be carried on ESPN networks.

"I am extremely pleased that we have entered into this scheduling alliance with the SEC," said American Commissioner Mike Aresco.
