Regarding school names

I don't know the official Wikipedia policy on commonly-used but non-official school names (such as "Illinois" referring to UIUC or "Iowa" referring to the University of Iowam especially in sports-related articles). If there is such a policy, it should definitely be applied here. Intuitively, if "Milwaukee" is the most commonly used and widely recognized name for the sports program at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, then it should be the name used throughout the article after the first reference. I'm opening this talk page if anyone else knows an official policy or has arguments otherwise. AcidPenguin9873 05:57, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

It's really simple: this is an encyclopedia, therefore ALL athletic program's get their OFFICIAL brand used. That's not always so in the media, i.e. seeing "UNC-Charlotte" written in a newspaper for Charlotte, or "Alabama-Birmingham" for UAB, or "Wisconsin-Milwaukee" for Milwaukee. But this is an encyclopedia, therefore references to the team's and program's must be what the school's official athletics "brand name" is (which takes <15 seconds of research on any school's official athletics site to find out).

I'd hate to see this pretty much universally accepted policy change, as it would very much require hundreds if not thousands of college sports-related wikipedia articles to have multiple changes made. -- CollegeSportsGuy 05:12, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Given the debate about UWM's official brand name, I'd say that both CollegeSportsGuy and Airtuna08 should cite a source from that school's official athletics web site showing the official brand name being used. I couldn't find one anywhere on the UWM athletics site, but I didn't look very hard. In my opinion, I've always heard the school referred to as "UW-Milwaukee"...but that's just anecdotal. Please cite a source so we can resolve this. AcidPenguin9873 23:47, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Condensing Tennessee Seasons

We should probably look to condense the Tennessee section to a few paragraphs rather than paragraphs for each season. A lot of that information probably ought to go on the specific team pages. AuburnShuffle (talk) 20:01, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Heavy editing without improvement

Improving articles does not mean cutting whole sentences and removing them in block. The info was gone along with the sources. The info was about the story of the dramatic improvement of the Auburn team in the late season. The ESPN and NCAA stories are highly respected sources on the team's success. On January 30, 2018 the NCAA correspondent Andy Katz interviewed Bryce Brown with great info on the same story as well as the player perspective on the coach starting 6:50 in the video. I request improvements to the "Auburn" section that are inclusive of important material instead of simply substitution of sentence and source for material that is not an improvement.Church of the Rain (talk) 00:19, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Judaism?

I'm wondering if Pearl may have left Judaism behind. He recently said "We put the Lord first, and trust whatever He’s got in store for us, we’re accepting of. We give Him the glory,” which is a wholly Christian concept. Unless he knows that it is effective to use this motivation at Auburn. https://twitter.com/marchmadness/status/1109670473489473538 NjtoTX (talk) 02:44, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
