 * Keep. Appears to be a failure to undertake WP:BEFORE (subpart D) responsibilities. Arguably passes prong 3 of WP:NCOLLATH as he has "gained national media attention as an individual, not just as a player for a notable team." With 6,316 all-purpose yards, and four seasons with > 1,000 rushing yards, Bauman is considered one of the top running backs in FCS history.  National media attention includes (1) this from ESPN.com.  Clearly satisfies the WP:GNG standard based on additional local and regional coverage, including (2) this from The Arizona Republic, (3) this from the East Valley Tribune, (4) this from the Missoulian, (5) this, (6) this, and (7) this from the Arizona Daily Sun, (8) this (complete article appears to be behind pay wall) from The Sacramento Bee, and (9) this from The Tribune (San Luis Obispo).

 * Keep - The coverage is there.  That said, too many of these would-be-pro articles are created when the player is a free agent signee or late-round draftee which emphasize the player's non-existent NFL playing career, when it should be re-written to emphasize the player's actual accomplishments as a college athlete.
