[edit] Violations by year

This is an unencyclopedic level of detail. Is there a way to summarize this? / edg ☺ ☭ 01:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Someone is certainly welcome to try and improve the article by doing so. Isn't that the whole point of WIki? I didn't think just because some people don't like the way an article is presented (in its first version, no less) that it becomes fodder for deletion. People are welcome to help present this information in a different manner, but don't try to act like it doesn't deserve to be presented at all. That's simply disingenuous.

The Violations by year section doesn't have a narrative or anything; it's mostly an information dump. I think the way to improve it would be to add a few more illustrative examples to the 2nd paragraph, and simply ditch this list, which can be read on the NCAA link.

The article's length need not be dicated by the number of violations—if there were 300 violations, the article wouldn't need to be 4 times as long. And making the article longer doesn't make it more notable. / edg ☺ ☭ 01:50, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
