Well, it appears the majority disagrees with your national championship claim right or wrong
I know the haters like to pile on to the false assumption that the majority disagree with UCF's claim. However, there have been a lot of articles, TV shows, tweets and quotes in support of UCF.

Even the Georgia coach said he would probably do the same thing if he were in our position.
Right, no argument with all that, and I've touted it for my small number of followers.
The AAC statement did NOTHING against that. The AAC statement left the door WIDE open for the UCF Natty claim to continue.
But after the BigXII got paid NOT to expand, the P6 campaign moved out for the strategic goal of the whole conference being bettered in the next shakeup. "Burn the ************ down!!" might be satisfying in the short term but is counterproductive to the long term goals.
White working one angle and Aresco continuing to work for long term goals can get the big picture win without alienating the structure of which we are trying to become a part.
Please try to think strategically.

PROVIDENCE, RI – The American Athletic Conference held its winter meeting of the league’s presidents and athletics directors on Wednesday, January 10 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Highlights of the meeting included discussions of the Conference’s future television, media and digital rights strategies, the continuation of its P6 narrative and messaging, upcoming proposed NCAA legislation, and future men’s basketball nonconference scheduling. The athletic directors also approved the expansion of the men’s soccer championship from four to six teams beginning in 2018 and the expansion of baseball umpiring crews from three to four members starting in 2019.
“Our meeting in Atlanta provided another opportunity for our presidents, athletics directors and conference staff to discuss substantive issues involving our conference and college sports generally,” said Commissioner Mike Aresco. “We were excited to meet in the wake of our enormous football regular season and bowl success to review the strategic direction of our league, our goals and the challenges we face. Our P6 narrative is stronger than ever and has resonated well with the public and the media, assisted by the tremendous success we enjoyed on the football field this fall, which included UCF’s undefeated season, No. 6 AP final ranking and impressive victory over Auburn in the Peach Bowl. Our men’s and women’s basketball and Olympic sports are strong and the addition of Wichita State, No. 5 in the latest USA Today/Coaches poll, has been an exciting development in men’s basketball. We discussed our league’s future media rights initiatives and heard from Wasserman, our media consultant. Our conference reached new heights this year and is poised to experience even greater success in the future.”
The 2017 football season saw seven American teams achieve bowl eligibility and produced a 4-3 bowl record, including a 3-1 record versus other Power 6 conferences. UCF and Memphis finished 12th and 20th, respectively, in the final CFP rankings, marking the third straight year the conference had multiple teams earn a spot in the final poll. The Knights, Tigers and USF all ended the year ranked in the final Associated Press and Coaches polls, including a No. 6 ranking for UCF in the final AP poll, the best final ranking for any American team in its history.
In other business, SMU director of athletics Rick Hart was appointed to the Conference’s athletic director executive committee; UConn director of athletics David Benedict was selected as the liaison to the men’s basketball coaches’ committee and the student-athlete advisory committee; and UCF vice president and director of athletics Danny White was named to the league’s media rights advisory committee

And yet no mention of UCF being the national champion.
At this point, I have to ask: Who, exactly, is Mike Aresco working for here ?

I have to disagree. A high tide raises the UCF ship. And good for you guys.
Ask the remaining Non-Big East bound CUSA schools after 2004 if Louisville's success, Cinci's success at basketball and USF's uh market size raised them?
Ask the 7 teams in the MWC left behind in 2011 when TCU and Utah bolted if they were raised by the tide?
Just in case it wasn't clear in my previous post...
That's a big part if the P6 campaign - rather than being crabs in a bucket, the P6 campaign is about discarding the old model of getting picked apart, only to pick apart the G4s to backfill. Once the last BigXII expansion joke dust settled, P6 got rolled out in order to change the narrative from candidates to conference. It's a paradigm shift to make "lift all boats" more possible.
Of course by "all boats" I mean AAC boats - a pillar of the P6 campaign is separation from the G4.

Unless Casey Wasserman (The CEO) was there at the meeting, I think they were referring to representatives of Wasserman being there...

Your fan base gets triggered every time non-con scheduling gets brought up.
A: Cincy’s non-con sucks

Time will tell if Aresco is walking a fine line, or being a turd to UCF. Right now, I think it makes sense for both parties to act as they are.

They were still right to not include that language. A playoff was played, a team was named national champion, and UCF wasn't involved. The claim that we're a power conference is arguable. UCF being national champions is not. Putting both of those assertions in the same statement makes the P6 argument in danger of being deemed equally ridiculous.

UCF and Blake Bortles ruined the Cardinals dream of an undefeated season and ended their chance to play in the BCS title game on that fateful Friday night in Louisville.
It was their one shot at glory and they blew it - as a result they have NEVER been able to get over that.
They have been obsessed with UCF (and AAC) hatred going on five years now. People like Pat Forde and Brett McMurphy are among their enablers in the sports media.

I wasn't arguing that the conference should have mentioned UCF's national championship claim. I was simply responding to the post that claimed "the majority disagrees with your national championship claim."

Even the Georgia coach said he would probably do the same thing if he were in our position.
They were still right to not include that language. A playoff was played, a team was named national champion, and UCF wasn't involved. The claim that we're a power conference is arguable. UCF being national champions is not. Putting both of those assertions in the same statement makes the P6 argument in danger of being deemed equally ridiculous.
No playoff played, it was a national invitational tournie. Al won the NIT.

Cincy fans:
WTF?
Your fan base gets triggered every time non-con scheduling gets brought up.
A: Cincy’s non-con sucks
B: It’s impossible to schedule around NKU and afford good buy games when we’d building an arena
A: Schedule home-and-homes then
B: It’s a one year thing it’s not a problem
A: Your seed line is going to take a hit
B: The committee doesn’t care about SOS
Repeat, repeat, repeat
Cincy' non con SoS last 3 years:
2015: 27
2016: 122
2017: 28
Huge problem there. Shocker fans no read so good.
