Talk:Horizon League

message: *Since 2005 the school has been actively marketing itself as "Milwaukee." Many locals still call it UWM, and ESPN/CBS still call the school "Wisconsin-Milwaukee." But the school has made an effort to drop the "Wisconsin" in promoting athletics. The new logo shows "MILWAUKEE PANTHERS" while making "University of Wisconsin" in very small print, and the athletics website  even calls the team simply "Milwaukee Panthers" or just "Milwaukee" with out the UW part.

message: I couldn't help notice, but Cleveland State is listed twice as making it to the Sweet 16 in 1986. While this is true, CSU did not join the Horizon League until 1994. I am not sure if they should be listed, but it should probably contain a note.--Fbdave 00:55, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That is indeed an error in the table I made when putting it together. The table should only contain accomplishments of teams that were current members of the conference at that time. Thanks for pointing it out, I'm going to fix it right now! - CollegeSportsGuy 07:42, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Conference Affiliation 

message: The Historic section is parimarily about the history of the teams in the Horizon League, rather than the history of the league itself.  For example, Valpo's 1998 Sweet Sixteen appearance, Loyola's NCAA tournament championship, and Butler's national championships all occurred before these teams joined the League (in fact, mostly before the League even existed).  I'm not sure yet how to clean this up. Jpers36 (talk) 21:30, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Historic section 

message: This is maybe an idiotic nitpick, but on the map of where the schools are located you have the northern of the two dots in Chicago labeled as UIC, and the southern of the two labeled as Loyola.  This is backwards.  The main campus of Loyola is on the far north side of the city; UIC is on the near west side, about eight miles south of Loyola.
I'd fix it myself, but I have no idea how to edit those maps. 75.34.58.73 (talk) 03:59, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  UIC and Loyola labels 

message: I just basically reverted an edit which had added Salem College to the list of former members, mainly because that edit completely wrecked the table and the following section due to a syntax error, but also because Salem's certainly never been a full member of this league.  The Salem College which was linked to is a women-only school which is only now getting itself up to NCAA Division III standards; the dab possibility, Salem International University, is a Division II school.  If either of these schools did, in fact, participate as a league member in some sport, then feel free to put it back in -- but please note the sport and provide a cite.

message: As I've fixed this a few times now, I want to make it clear that Milwaukee was not ranked in the final ESPN/USA Today poll, which was released 3/28/05.  The final poll can be viewed here.  Please note that if you are viewing the March 7, 2005, poll, you will need to click on week 15, then click on week 17.  There seems to be a glitch with ESPN's website.

thread_title:  Milwaukee Ranking 2004-05 

message: I noticed that conferences in List of NCAA conferences have articles, usually including a membership timeline. While some of the decisions made for each conference make some sense, there is a wide variety of styles for the various timelines, particularly involving color choices, but also other matters of style that could be more consistent.
for example, a school with a yellow bar means:
* An associate member in one sport (if part of the BE)
* A former member of the conference (in the SEC)
* A future member of the conference (in the SEC and Big West)
* A football only member (in the Sun Belt)
* A team that has moved to another conference (in the WAC, NEC)
* A full member of the Big Sky
Some graphs have captions, some do not, and none are centered.
To see the variety of styles, review Current conference timelines
I think it would be worth discussing how best to provide some measure of consistency, recognizing that there may be legitimate reasons for some differences from a standard presentation (for example, some conferences show the name of the new conference for former members. In some cases, this makes sense, in other, it may not.)
I've produced a draft of how the timelines would look with some consistency added.
Please see Draft proposal of conference timelines.
I propose a discussion to see if there is consensus on improving the consistency.
Because it would not be practical to have this discussion on each and every conference talk page, I suggest centralizing this discussion at the Talk page of Project College football SPhilbrick(Talk) 12:49, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
