AAC Drops "Athletic" from its name

Many of us knew the conference actually stopped being athletic a few years ago.

They even added a conference mascot named "Soar" because that's the kind of losers they are.

Indeed. I wonder if the PAC-12 or Sun Belt will have a rebranding as well?

It seems that they are seeking the same branding as Conference USA, The American Conference.

If you are not careful, thatSHiNy will become a thing... (Why is S, H, and N capitalized? do they represent something?)
