The American Athletic Conference Strategic Plan

Postby deucetz » Tue May 02, 2017 2:57 pm

http://theamerican.org/news/2017/5/1/GE ... 73329.aspx

PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND – American Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco today released the Conference’s Strategic Plan, which focuses on providing students at its member institutions with the highest quality academic, athletic and personal experience competing in a Power 6 conference.

I would state, stop wasting money on overpriced marketing firms that give you picture books as strategic plans.

Some of the big ideas from the strategic plan are:
-Addition of Women's Lacrosse
-Move of conference offices
-Investing in new technology

Doesn't sound like Baylor would be a good fit in this conference either.

Where does it say anything about women's lacrosse, new technology, or moving conference offices? Different article?

3.46 Consider adopting Women's Lacrosse as a league sport to provide additional competitive opportunities and to expand the Conference's branding and TV exposure post Men's Basketball and Women's Basketball Final Fours

5.04 Monitor the media marketplace and embrace new, emerging technologies that will differentiate the Conference from its peers and help it reach new fans

4.23 Explore office relocation if it serves our Conference's best interests, provides greater visibility, and if it better positions us for overall success

Won't work, because to many of the present students who might attend will mistakenly step on horsesh_t instead of a divot between chukkers.
