The American Athletic Conference (also known as The American) is an American collegiate athletic conference, featuring 11 member universities – and four associate member universities – that compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA) Division I, with its football teams competing in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), the highest levels for athletic competition in U.S. collegiate sports. Member universities represent a range of well-regarded private and public universities of various enrollment sizes located primarily in urban metropolitan areas in the Northeastern, Midwestern, Western, and Southern regions of the United States. The American was considered one of the six collegiate power conferences of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) era.〔The American inherited the Big East's automatic berth to a BCS game for the 2013 season.〕 With the advent of the College Football Playoff, The American became a "Group of Five" conference, which shares one automatic spot in the New Year's Six bowl games.〔The other conferences in the "Group of Five" are Conference USA (C-USA), the Mid-American Conference (MAC), the Mountain West Conference, and the Sun Belt Conference.〕 The American, however, remains a power conference in men's basketball.〔http://theamerican.org/sports/2014/10/21/MBB_1021145448.aspx?id=93&〕 The league is the product of substantial turmoil in the original Big East Conference during the 2010–14 conference realignment period. It is one of two conferences to emerge from the all-sports Big East in 2013. While the other successor, which does not sponsor football, purchased the Big East Conference name, The American inherited the old Big East's structure and is that conference's legal successor. However, both conferences claim 1979 as their founding date, and the same history up to 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About the American Athletic Conference )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=(New) Big East Conference history )〕 The American is headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island, and led by Commissioner Michael Aresco.〔 ==History==
