athletic conferences
Collegiate competition groups
Athletic conferences are organizations that group sports teams—usually from schools or universities—for competition and administration.
Teams within a conference play each other regularly and compete for conference championships.
In American college sports, conferences like the Big Ten or SEC also negotiate television contracts and distribute revenue among member institutions.
