Logo Removal[edit]

Ed, you are acting unilaterally in your interpretation of policy yet again. There is no consensus in support of the actions you are taking. You are well aware of the ongoing discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Logos#Clarification_on_use_of_sports_team_logos. Johntex\talk 16:15, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edit to School enrollment[edit]

The enrollment of the schools in the conference is very outdated. I updated all the schools with the enrollments listed at the official college websites.


No Expansion[edit]

I go to Seattle University and we have been informed by our President and Athletic Director that the other Presidents of the schools within the WCC do NOT want to expand the conference. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.194.72.243 (talk) 02:31, 11 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

"Opinion" tag[edit]

I noticed that the paragraph I added about the WCC's current hostility to admitting public institutions was tagged as "opinion". It may be opinion, but it isn't mine... the story in the citation at the end of the paragraph explicitly states that the 2008 proposal to add Pacific and UCSB was shot down because a public school was included. The entire paragraph is supported by that reference. Perhaps the wording could be improved, but the gist is supported by the reference. — Dale Arnett (talk) 22:52, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Famous Sports Figures[edit]

I am not sure about official policy, but it seems a stretch to include people like Danny Ainge and Jimmer Fredette, who never played a day in this conference, simple because BYU now is in the conference. There may be other athletes in this list who similarly played before their school joined this conference but I am not familiar with all the situations. Wschart (talk) 03:03, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a valid topic. Should a player be listed because they played for a WCC school or listed if they only played in the WCC.
The two BYU players you listed are not the only ones listed on the wikipage. For example, Stew Morrill played and coached for Gonzaga before Gonzaga was in the WCC. Bernie Bickerstaff played at San Diego in the 60s. WCC doesn't support Men's Volleyball, but Mike Whitmarsh is listed. I can see arguments for both sides and I don't really know what to do right now.

Proposal to make timelines more consistent[edit]

I noticed that conferences in List of NCAA conferences have articles, usually including a membership timeline. While some of the decisions made for each conference make some sense, there is a wide variety of styles for the various timelines, particularly involving color choices, but also other matters of style that could be more consistent.

for example, a school with a yellow bar means:

  • An associate member in one sport (if part of the BE)
  • A former member of the conference (in the SEC)
  • A future member of the conference (in the SEC and Big West)
  • A football only member (in the Sun Belt)
  • A team that has moved to another conference (in the WAC, NEC)
  • A full member of the Big Sky


Some graphs have captions, some do not, and none are centered. To see the variety of styles, review Current conference timelines

I think it would be worth discussing how best to provide some measure of consistency, recognizing that there may be legitimate reasons for some differences from a standard presentation (for example, some conferences show the name of the new conference for former members. In some cases, this makes sense, in other, it may not.)

I've produced a draft of how the timelines would look with some consistency added. Please see Draft proposal of conference timelines.

I propose a discussion to see if there is consensus on improving the consistency.

Because it would not be practical to have this discussion on each and every conference talk page, I suggest centralizing this discussion at the Talk page of Project College football SPhilbrick(Talk) 12:51, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Pacific[edit]

So UOP accepted an invitation to join the WCC in 2013. I've added some info here to the page to make clear what's going on. FJM (talk) 19:05, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Standardize facility sections[edit]

See the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College baseball#Standardize conference pages' facility sections.

Map of location of current members[edit]

. . . needs to show BYU. Agricolae (talk) 21:24, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion about overview maps for US collegiate athletic conferences[edit]

A discussion on the Project College Football talk page has been created to discuss the proper format of the overview maps that are used for the US collegiate athletic conference pages.

Expansion not finalized[edit]

Oregon State and Washington State have not yet been formally invited to join the WCC as associate members; denoting them as such is currently premature, though very likely in the near future. Nwebster84 (talk) 00:48, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
