Notes, etc.

 * Not even close to starting a serious discussion yet -- still collecting datapoints and ideas. This is going to be a serious exercise in organization.  I'm thinking out loud, but perhaps the first step should be to identify (1) the common parameters, (2) then the sport-specific parameters, and (3) then the NCAA playoff structure.


 * I think the best way to structure this master template for proper parameter selection is to create separate wraps or modules for each sport, with automatic selection of sport-specific parameter options, leaving very little opportunity for editors to import inappropriate sport-specific parameters into an unintended use for another sport.

My first impression is that many of these are duplicative. The logo, colours, location, and league are all found on the programme page, e.g. Florida Gators. Do we need to repeat them on every one of these pages? Alakzi (talk) 17:06, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Good question, and something that probably deserves to be discussed. My initial impression is that most, perhaps not all, of the basic data should probably stay in the individual team articles because the articles are intended to be stand-alone articles for the individual teams.  That said, I am always receptive to a better idea if one is presented.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:12, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * The current football team infobox certainly includes program-level datapoints, like "athletic director," that should be omitted from the team-level box. I'm also contemplating what to do with items like "fight song" and "mascot" that should probably be either program-level or restricted to football.  FYI, not all teams from the same university are always members of the same conference; for instance, the Florida Gators women's lacrosse team is a member of the Big East Conference, while the other 20 Florida Gators teams are members of the Southeastern Conference.  That's not that unusual among Division I programs.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:25, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
