Draft:List of oldest college sports conferences
Submission declined on 26 June 2023 by SportingFlyer (talk). This would almost certainly be deleted if accepted since it appears to be original research. I may be incorrect if there are sources which talk about oldest collegiate sports conferences in their own right, but I don't see any in the article.

- Comment: What is a "sports conference"? Clearly not an actual conference but some kind of organisation – please include a few words of (sourced) explanation.I checked about half a dozen of the sources, and none of them mentioned the term "conference", so it looks like there's some original research involved here as well. bonadea contributions talk 19:14, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
