Why does the conference records keep dipping into the overall records? Murphanian777 (talk) 21:28, 24 May 2020 (UTC)Murphanian777Reply

Murphanian777 looks like you got the columns straightened out. Just need to fill in the overall records of the rest of the teams aside from Slippery Rock. I'm a little confused about this conference. Is "Pennsylvania State Teachers Conference" an earlier name of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC)? Or a different organization that was a forerunner to the PSAC? The PSAC appears to have been founded in 1951. Do you have a source for these standings, or least the list of conference members? Jweiss11 (talk) 23:09, 24 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

I found the final standings for the 1936 PSAC/PSTC season here[1]. As for the confusion, I have to say I'm not entirely sure. I noticed the conference only went back to 1951 as well and so I did some digging. According to a pdf of PSAC's football champions, "sportswriters" had chosen champions as far back as 1934. It seems like the conference existed in some capacity since then, and I sent an email to a Communications Director for the conference on any additional information on the former conference. I'll add updates if I find anything. Murphanian777 (talk) 23:40, 24 May 2020 (UTC)Murphanian777Reply
