American Conference (NCAA)

The American Conference

The American Conference is a group of colleges and universities in the United States. They come together to play sports against each other. There are 13 main schools and 6 extra schools that join for certain sports. These schools play in the top level of college sports, called Division I.

The American Conference started from an older group called the Big East Conference. This old group was one of the best in college football before 2014. When a new system called the College Football Playoff began, the American Conference became one of the smaller groups, known as a "Group of Five" conference.

The American Conference is based in Irving, Texas. It is led by a person named Commissioner Tim Pernetti. The conference has many sports, like football, basketball, and soccer. Schools play in big stadiums and arenas that can hold thousands of fans.
