Location:

The American Athletic Conference's primary focus and operations are within the United States, overseeing collegiate athletic competitions among its American member institutions. While its teams and student-athletes may participate in international events and some member institutions recruit internationally, the conference itself does not maintain a global operational presence with international offices. Its global impact is primarily through the international broadcast reach of its sporting events, the diverse backgrounds of its student-athletes, and the global recognition of its athletic programs and member universities.
