The Last Amatuers
Should a reference to John Feinstein's book "The Last Amateurs" be included here? It's entirely about Patriot League basketball. 71.33.43.85 02:43, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Never mind, just noticed the reference at the bottom. 71.33.43.85 02:45, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Questions
Why is AF in MWC for football but Patriot League for everything else?

Why are Army and Navy Football independent and Patriot League for everything else?

Why are none of the 3 in the Patriot League for football?


 * All three service academies play in Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A), while the Patriot League is a Division I Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) conference. For all sports other than football, there is no distinction between the two, only "Division I". Strikehold (talk) 16:57, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Proposal to make timelines more consistent
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)  02:21, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Discussion about overview maps for US collegiate athletic conferences
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.

If you're interested, please join the discussion here: Athletic conference overview maps and their lack of consistency. Mdak06 (talk) 23:53, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks

Army and Navy in members section?
Is there a reason Army and Navy aren't listed anywhere in the members section? Thanks, Kithira (talk) 10:13, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Cleanup
It's a good time to clean up this page, as it will appear as part of a DYK tomorrow.

Which will say: " ... that American-Israeli basketball player Bryan Cohen is the only athlete in the history of the Patriot League to win its Defensive Player of Year award three times?
