 * All three photos from this article are from/concerning the United States and should be more globally-oriented.
 * The SAT scores need to be updated seeing as how it is now on a scale of 1-36.
 * In the Student athletes in high school section, it should explain the difference between Division I and Division II schools.
 * In the Student athlete performance section, it seems biased by claiming that athletes perform "at a very high level" in classrooms and on the field.
 * The claim that athletes have higher graduation rates than non-athletes in the Graduation rates for student athletes should provide more statistical evidence seeing as how bold that statement is.
 * The article then goes on to contradict itself by claiming that athletes have lower graduation rates than non-athletes in the Rates between scholarship athletes, partial scholarship and non-athletes section.
 * The part in the Student athlete pressures that explains and goes into detail about the suicide of a student distracted me from the topic and seems inappropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ks157852 (talk • contribs) 23:56, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
 * The article does a good job of presenting the challenges faced by athletes, but overall seems to degrade academic-only students and does this off of the assumption that these non-athlete students only have education to worry about, when in reality, many have jobs and extracurricular activities that athletes do not have.
 * The historical section of this article is very short and could add details.
 * Most of the links and their encompassing evidence appear to align. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ks157852 (talk • contribs) 23:57, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I would suggest adding an entire paragraph about funding for student athletes as opposed to non-athletes or a paragraph in general comparing and contrasting athletes and non-athletes.
 * After reading this article, I would suggest changing the title to Student athletes in the United States, seeing as how the entire article is based on the United States.
 * The entire article fails to say that the United States does in fact tend to place more focus on student athletes over non-athletes such as with instances with provided tutors to stay on track and be eligible to compete in their sport.
