BACKGROUND
The American Athletic Conference, also known as the AAC, is an American collegiate
athletic conference with member institutions located in the northeastern, midwestern, and
southern part of the United States. The AAC participates in the National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) Division I in athletic competitions; forfootball, it is a part of the Football
Bowl Subdivision (FBS).
The AAC has member institutions that are spread throughout a wide portion of the United
States. The majority of its members are located in urban metropolitan areas, or at least on
the fringes thereof. The conference is one of two successors to the all-sports Big East
Conference (1979-2013). While the other successor, which does not sponsor football, kept
the Big East Conference name, the American Athletic Conference inherited the old Big
East's structure and is that conference's legal successor. The prior league undenruent
substantial turmoil during the 201 0-l 3 NCAA conference realignment period.
The AAC is currently one of the six automatic qualifying conferences of the Bowl
Championship Series (BCS), also known as a "Power Six Conference." The conference
inherited the old Big East's BCS berth for the 2013 season. However, the new conference
will lose its automatic berth as part of the upcoming College Football Playoff in 2014 and
become a part of the "Group of Five", which shares automatic access to one spot in the six
premier bowl games. The other four conferences in the group are Conference USA (C-
USA), the Mid-American Conference (MAC), the Mountain West Conference, and the Sun
Belt Conference.
The Miami Beach Bowl is a newly created postseason college football game under the
ownership of the American Athletic Conference, whlch will take place at Marlins Park on
December 22,2014. The Miami Beach Bowl has signed a 6 yearcontractwith Marlins Park
along with an 8 year dealwith ESPN to broadcast the game.
