American Athletic Conference requested meeting with Power 5 to discuss the American's inclusion

In an eight-page letter I obtained that was dated May 7, 2021, the members of the American Athletic Conference's Board of Directors wrote to the Autonomy 5 (A5) conferences – the official name of the Power 5 – to request a meeting to discuss the American's inclusion in the A5, a meeting that the American requested would include the chairs of the A5 conferences, American Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco, select members of the American's Board of Directors and the board's chair – a role that University of Cincinnati President Neville Pinto is taking over from the outgoing chair, University of Memphis President Dr. David Rudd.
