I chose this article because it will provide in depth information about the inner workings of the NCAA, such as rules, culture, chain of command, etc.

Evaluate the article
Overall, this article is well put together. The structure is thought out, with it starting with history and ending with other organizations. One thing that was noticeably absent from the page was any controversy or negativity that has surrounded the NCAA. With no mention of it, it does seem to feel like they are hiding or at least not showing the faults of the organization. I do think that some of the things mentioned could be moved to a subcategory, with things like the office of inclusion not being necessary to mention on their main page.

I liked that they provided stats of how many schools they have in the NCAA for each sport, as that is going to be very useful information for people that they probably won't be able to get from a 'more credible' source.

The talk page listed is pretty critical of the article, which is expected with the amount of information that is on the page. I do think there is some useful information that someone can review and make changes to the NCAA article, however I also think that a page with this much draw is going to bring in a lot more criticism.
