Sprints showing up in dropdown that aren't active sprints in any of our projects

When we are in a Jira ticket and want to assign a sprint, the list of sprints that is presented in the dropdown is way more than the active sprints in all of our projects (which are only 3), and we cannot find  anywhere that these sprints exist or how to get rid of them.  It makes assigning tickets to sprints very haphazard.

Notice that several of the sprints say "Future sprint". This list does not show only the active sprints, but also shows the sprints that have been created but not started. 

Additionally, the list is not limited to sprints in specific projects. This list will show sprints across the entire Jira instance.

If you want to show fewer items in this list, you have to start typing in a sprint name to reduce the list to potential matches. You may want to standardize a naming convention for your sprints to identify the project or board to which they are associated.
