First-year AAC commissioner Tim Pernetti takes the stage at conference media days
The American Athletic Conference kicked off its annual media days at the Loews Arlington Hotel in Arlington, TX. Ever since the AAC rebranded from the Big East in 2013, the conference operated under the direction of one commissioner, Mike Aresco. But Aresco announced his retirement in December and his reign over the conference officially ended May 31. His successor Tim Pernetti was named in early April, coming from a background in athletic administration. He previously served as the Rutgers athletic director from 2009-13 when the program was a member of the Big East, coinciding with Aresco’s tenure as commissioner. Thus, there was familiarity between the two prior to the recent change in AAC leadership.
