FADE IN: INT. A CONFERENCE ROOM - DAY The personified members of the America East Conference - Stony Brook Seawolf, Albany Great Dane, UMBC Retriever, Binghamton Bearcat, Hartford Hawk and New Hampshire Wildcat - are gathered around a conference table chatting cheerfully. Suddenly, the door bursts open and in walks a shy and nervous looking figure who is immediately welcomed by the group. Albany Great Dane: "Well, hello there! You must be the newest member of our conference. Welcome!" New member (shyly): "Uh, hey, thanks. I'm really excited to be here." Binghamton Bearcat: "We're excited to have you! You're going to love it here in the America East Conference." Stony Brook Seawolf: "Absolutely! We pride ourselves on being a close-knit group of universities that support each other both academically and athletically." UMBC Retriever: "Plus, our conferences games are pretty competitive too. You'll definitely have a challenge on your hands." Hartford Hawk: "And let's not forget our awesome fans! The America East Conference has some of the most loyal and passionate supporters around." New Hampshire Wildcat: "Yeah, you'll definitely feel the love from our fans at every game." The new member smiles bashfully. New member: "Wow, it sounds amazing. I can't wait to get started." Albany Great Dane: "Well, before we do that, we should probably introduce ourselves. I'm Albany, the Great Dane." UMBC Retriever: "I'm UMBC, the Retriever." Binghamton Bearcat: "Binghamton, the Bearcat." Stony Brook Seawolf: "I'm Stony Brook, the Seawolf." Hartford Hawk: "I'm Hartford, the Hawk." New Hampshire Wildcat (smiling): "And I'm New Hampshire, the Wildcat." New member (smiling): "Nice to meet you all. I'm excited to be part of such an awesome group." Binghamton Bearcat: "Well, we're excited to have you, (name of new member). Welcome to the America East Conference family!" The group claps, and the new member can't help but smile. FADE OUT.
