AAC commissioner Mike Aresco on expansion: Big 12 has ‘done what they accused us of doing’

American Athletic Conference commissioner Mike Aresco laughed as he said it, even though he knows there’s nothing funny about what happened to his league this week. “It’s ironic that the Big 12 appears to have done what they accused us of doing,” Aresco told The Commercial Appeal Thursday in reaction to the news that Cincinnati, UCF and Houston will be leaving the AAC and joining BYU in the Big 12’s expansion efforts.
