Sports Conferences

Sports conferences are organizational groups that consist of multiple sports teams, usually from colleges or universities, that compete against each other. These conferences help to schedule games, establish rules, and promote fairness in competition. They can also enhance visibility for member schools and provide a forum for collaboration on athletic policies. Notable examples include the Big Ten, SEC, and Pac-12 in college sports. Teams within a conference strive for titles and improved rankings, culminating in tournaments that often lead to championships in various sports, fostering regional rivalries and traditions among the participating institutions.
