Talk:List of NCAA Division I men's basketball career scoring leaders

Big East footnote
I don't agree with the footnote around the Big East conference in the conference scoring leader table. It essentially tries to make the point that both the American Athletic Conference and the current Big East Conference claim the history back to the founding of the Big East in 1979. That is false. As it relates to basketball, the Big East owns the history. Note the historical section of the American Athletic Conference media guide. The "historical" section goes back only to last year - the first year of the conference. Contrast that to the historical section of the Big East media guide, which shows records back to 1979. The American only claims history to the Big East as far as football is concerned, in basketball the current Big East is the Big East. In my opinion, there should be an entry for the American (with Sean Kilpatrick as the scoring leader for the time being) and leave the Big East leader as Troy Bell. No footnote is necessary in my opinion. Rikster2 (talk) 04:33, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Seems pretty conclusive to me. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 04:45, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree with you Rikster. Jrcla2 (talk) 16:33, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I've now looked at both media guides, and I agree with you, Rik. However, there's another issue that's unrelated to this—the (current) Big East record book bases career scoring records only on regular-season conference games. I'll update the footnote accordingly, and add Sean Kilpatrick as The American's leading scorer (so far) in the main table. — Dale Arnett (talk) 05:34, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Update: Done... and I also found out that Shabazz Napier passed Kilpatrick in scoring during the Final Four. — Dale Arnett (talk) 08:08, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

Southern University
On October 10, 2022, I emailed Southern University's Rodney Kirschner, their Deputy Athletic Director, regarding who their program's all-time leading scorer is. Here is the transcription for verification purposes. SportsGuy789 (talk) 00:56, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Where is Bo Lamar?
Over 3400 points I believe 2603:8081:6500:B00:8541:788F:8518:99B1 (talk) 02:04, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
 * His first two seasons were when Southwestern Louisiana was in the Gulf States Conference, which is Division II. They transitioned to the Southland Conference in 1971–72, so he only spent two years at the Division I level, scoring 1,862 points in that time. The top 25 section in this article comprises players whose points are solely from their time in Division I. If you look at the section for the schools' all-time leading scorers, it includes all divisional eras, and Bo Lamar is listed for Louisiana. SportsGuy789 (talk) 03:02, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
