Stadium Capacities

The table on stadium capacities isn't currently properly arranging football stadium capacities from smallest to largest or largest to smallest when requested. Somehow OSU and PSU end up being ranked as larger than Michigan. The rankings work for basketball and baseball.

Standardize facility sections

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.

Wikitable for future schedules

Here is a template for a wikitable to make it easy to put the future opponents in an organized format. The future non-conference opponent template is almost impossible to edit due to its vertical format. Replace "Big Ten name" with the team name + nickname (without the word football) to put the appropriate team colors in the table).

-== Past conferences in membership timeline ==
-UChicago lists the conferences it became a member of post-Big Ten membership.  I think it would be consistent to do the same for past membership of other conference members.  Do you agree?
-*Big 12, Big Eight, WIUFA, and Independent  for Nebraska
-*Independent for PSU/MSU
-*AAC, Big East, independent etc for Rutgers
-*ACC, Southern, independent, etc. for Maryland
-:(''I'm not the original poster.'')  I'd prefer '''removing''' the Maroons's post-Big Ten conferences in the timeline (using the same consistency argument).  Adding bars for the other conferences obscures schools' membership in the Big Ten, and could get pretty confusing if we add more colors.  I say the timeline should be limited to 3 buckets: "Full member", "Full member (non-football)", and "Sports affiliate". Mention the other pre- or post-conferences in the text.

-== Conference Champions for Academic Year Table ==
-I think the 2022-2023 champions table should be redesigned to either have three columns: Regular Season champion, Tournament champion, Champion, or to have two columns: Regular Season champion, Tournament champion, with the conference champion in bold.
-I suggest this because three sports do not fit into the current table. Wrestling and Men's/Women's gymnastics award a regular season championship, but that is not the conference champion, as the table suggests. The conference championship is awarded to the team which wins the meet at the end of the year (see the footnotes on page 40 of this document: https://s3.amazonaws.com/bigten.org/documents/2021/8/18/Combined_Front_Pages.pdf), which is listed as the Tournament champion in this table, suggesting they are not the conference champion.
-I prefer having two columns and putting the conference champion in bold, since this would have less empty space than a three-column table, and it also makes clear that the Big Ten awards the conference championship differently by sport, but that might not be the best design.
