Comment: anyone who doesn't understand the magnitude of Division_I#Football_Bowl_Subdivision|top-level NCAA football doesn't really follow American sports: It's a bigger sport, by money and viewership, than many, ''many'' so-called professional leagues in other countries (save for top-level soccer).  Here are some facts and figures to prove it (and help my co-editors in the future): A top level football school make major revenue: http://newsok.com/article/3166059 Texas ($60.9 million), Michigan ($50.4 million), Florida ($48.2 million), etc.  The 44 schools from BCS conferences that played in a bowl game in 2007 http://money.cnn.com/2007/12/31/commentary/sportsbiz/index.htm?section=money_commentary_columnsportsbiz had combined revenue of $1.3 billion.  No one can credibly dispute that Texas, Ohio State or USC football isn't financially (as well as in media coverage) bigger than a Greek professional basketball team like Olympiacos B.C., yet those players are somehow okay --in fact, the entire Euroleague (not merely the Greek professional league) has a revenue of http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/911634.html less than one hundred million.  Let's compare the big boys of EU soccer: Looking at German soccer, the top-league Fußball-Bundesliga|Bundesliga had http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=540547&&cc=5901 2006/07 revenues of €1.3 billion ($1.7b). Looking at UK soccer: While top-level Premier League is obviously a major league with exceptionally high revenue (http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=540547&&cc=5901 €2.2 billion ($2.8b)), Football League Championship|The Championship clubs' revenues in 2005/6 were http://www.footballeconomy.com/archive/archive_2007_jun_01.htm £318m ($470m) at an average of £13m ($20m) per club (Football League One|League One for the same year totaled http://www.footballeconomy.com/archive/archive_2007_jun_01.htm £102m, Football League Two|League Two http://www.footballeconomy.com/archive/archive_2007_jun_01.htm £61m).  Stepping slightly away from football, the NCAA has a http://www.ncaachampionmagazine.org/Championship%20Magazine/ChampionMagazineStory/2008/Fall/Articles/tabid/94/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/191/Default.aspx $6.2 billion, 11-year media contract.  Thus, discounting a top-level college football player for the reason that he plays in "college" and not the NFL doesn't really meet the idea that was meant with .  I am not extending this to other NCAA sports or football levels (though top-level men's basketball could probably argue just as easily), but for top-level NCAA football, the line must be drawn

Comment: There's nothing that would set him apart from any other starting member of his own team, much less the players on a multitude of similar teams worldwide. BQZip01's assertion that the quarterback is "inherently the highest position for an athlete on a football team" is too strong a statement: other positions are often occupied by superior athletes, and team captains (when designated) are not necessarily quarterbacks. There's no reason that quarterbacking (on an NCAA team) should guarantee notability. As for thlete, I'd say that in general, international competition in amateur sport is considered to be "the highest level" (e.g. Olympics, world championships, etc.). Although ''within the U.S.'', the NCAA would probably be viewed as being "the highest level", it's probably useful to be aware of ias when evaluating notability

Comment: per .  Marshall is a member of NCAA Division I FBS, the "highest level in amateur sports".  The way  is written, Morris is notable.  Seems pretty clear-cut to me.  Issues with that guideline should be brought up elsewhere
