You're a conference. Why do you need a mascot?

They are always gonna be the AAC to me.

They are always gonna be the AAC to me.

they are always going to be a mediocre trash conference that belongs in a lower tier division to me.

Off the top of my head without looking at ESPN.....

Tulsa
Liberty
Western Kentucky

That was after I kept naming off several other schools in my head that are in the MAC. Oddly, I know more in the MAC than the newly mascotted American.

EDIT:
I was wrong anyway, Liberty is CUSA.....as is WKU. HAHA!!!

Army
Charlotte
East Carolina
FAU
Memphis
Navy
North Texas
Rice
USF
Temple
Tulane
Tulsa
UAB
UTSA

Memphis, UAB, USF …not sure about that last one.

renaming a conference from "the American Athletic Conference" to the American Conference (or The American) and adding a goofy conference mascot are what happen you have a million bucks and a dozen consultants in a room and need to show "progress"

This is a very Dunder Mifflin move IMHO.

Assuming you didn't look these up, we'll be sending you an oversized stuffy of Soar.

Never mind

If the name of your school contains a cardinal direction, branch of military service, or the name of a city,

You could be in the American Conference.

Given that Memphis just offered the Big 12 $200MM to join and was nixed, they should dominate the conference, right?

Imagine someone requesting to join Tidefans and offered you a ton of money to do it, but you say nah that's okay, we're good without you.

In olden times, you had to give a dowry to get your daughter married off. The larger the dowry the uglier the daughter. Memphis must be pretty ugly with no makeup...

I would take the $200m and y'all would never hear from me again.
