[edit] Too inclusive

In Division I-FBS (formerly I-A) only, the player has been selected first team all conference - I think this is too inclusive. How many players are selected first team all-conference each year? Probably over 200. A good portion of these players will go pro, so will be notable for that reason, but for players who don't go pro or at least earn All-American status I don't think we should have articles on. Do we really want articles that consist of "Bob played for the Sooners in 1926, earning all-south first team allocades. That was the only year he played, and became a farmer for the rest of his life". As worded, this article would be justified to create. Multiply this article a few thousand times and that is what we will be allowing if this became the standard of inclusion. There are plenty of all-first team members who don't get drafted and end up doing a completely different job. VegaDark 21:12, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
