IRVING, Texas – The American Athletic Conference has announced a comprehensive partnership with U.S. Integrity (USI) to provide sports wagering monitoring systems and educational resources to the conference’s student-athletes, coaches and staff to prevent participation in prohibited sports wagering.

In addition to the monitoring services provided by the USI dashboard, the agreement additionally covers annual reviews of the conference’s protocols, policies and procedures related to sports wagering, including best practice recommendations and risk assessments. It also allows for on-site education training at all American Athletic Conference member schools.
