I know we are tied-in to the seven bowls we are currently using for a certain amount of years. The reason for the current ones that we have were that we were a new conference and I assume that the bowls didn't think the AAC would be as strong as it is. How long before we can negotiate better bowls for our members?

I think many of the non NY6 bowl contracts run close to the same time and I think many are locked in through the 2019 season.

Rome wasn't built in a day. Same goes for conferences. The AAC began at a terrible disadvantage for bowl and TV negotiations due to being essentially a new conference which barely survived a perfect storm of bad publicity that naturally left perceptions of instability. Aresco knows what he is doing and will have a lot of selling points next time around.

I agree with GA on this. It's a terrible bowl selection, slightly worse than the Mountain West's, but not really any different from the G5 slate. New conference and an unexpected future. If realignment remains dormant for a few years, I have little doubt in Aresco to continue building the American's profile.
