American Athletic School History

The American Athletic Conference (AAC) is a collegiate athletic conference formed in 2013. The AAC is composed of 11 member schools located across the United States, including Connecticut, Cincinnati, Houston, and Tulane. These schools have a long history of excellence in athletics, with many national championships and individual awards won over the years.

The AAC has been home to some legendary athletes such as basketball Hall-of-Famer Shaquille O’Neal, who attended Louisiana State University while playing for LSU Tigers from 1989 to 1992; football legend Tom Brady, who played at Michigan from 1995 to 1999; baseball great Ken Griffey Jr., who attended UC Riverside before becoming an MLB All-Star; and tennis star Venus Williams, who competed for Florida International University during her college career.
With so much talent among its members, it's no surprise that the American Athletic Conference has become one of the most competitive conferences in all NCAA Division I sports today—especially regarding men's basketball, where nine out of eleven teams made post-season play last year!

In addition to their success on court or field, these AAC universities are also known for their academic achievements, with multiple institutions ranked among U.S News & World Report’s top 100 National Universities list each year since the 2014–2015 school season began. This shows how far these universities have come since they were established in 1845 when Rutgers became New Jersey’s first public university!

Whether you're an avid fan looking forward to cheering your favorite team or simply interested in learning more about this prestigious conference, there's no doubt that you'll find plenty of exciting things to explore within The American Athletic Conference School History!
