So I generally don't read the sports articles on Wiki, but do we need an article on *every season* that a college team has played? With week-by-week headings? How many college teams are there? And does only football merit this treatment, or do the lacrosse, crew, wrestling, and fencing teams get an article per year, per school as well?67.40.128.190 (talk) 03:02, 5 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
The answer is yes for Division I FBS football, in which there there will be 124 members this coming season. We almost certainly do not need yearly articles for those other sports, which receive much less coverage. Jweiss11 (talk) 20:13, 15 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
