FADE IN: EXT. THE AMERICAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE HEADQUARTERS - DAY The sun beats down on the modern high rise building in the heart of downtown Dallas. A man in a suit approaches the entrance. He is JASON, the commissioner of the American Athletic Conference. INT. THE CONFERENCE ROOM - DAY Jason is seated at the head of the table with the athletic directors of the conference. They are all dressed in business attire. JASON As you all know, the AAC is not what it used to be. We've lost some big names in recent years and our revenue has taken a hit. We need to start thinking about how to turn this conference around. The room falls silent as everyone looks at each other. JASON (CONT'D) We need to make some noise. We need a team to step up and make a statement. Suddenly, the doors burst open and in walks a man in a Memphis Tigers hoodie. It's TOM, the athletic director of the University of Memphis. TOM Sorry I'm late, folks. Got stuck in traffic. The group greets Tom with smiles and nods. JASON We were just discussing how to turn things around. Any thoughts, Tom? TOM Well, as you know, Memphis has been making some noise lately. We've got a great basketball program and the football team is on the rise. JASON That's true. But we need to consider the conference as a whole. TOM Of course. But we can't ignore what's working for us. Memphis is attracting attention. We're regularly breaking attendance records and gaining national attention. JASON That's true. But we need to make sure every team is bringing in revenue and attracting attention. We need to step up our game as a conference. TOM Agreed. But we can't forget that the conference is made up of individual schools with their own programs and strengths. If Memphis can help drive the conference forward, we should put in the work to make that happen. There's a long pause before a smile spreads across Jason's face. JASON I think Tom is onto something. We can't ignore the individual schools and their strengths. We need to work together to make this conference great. The group nods in agreement. FADE OUT.
