GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail: PASS IS ON HOLD PENDING A CO-REVIEWER

I would encourage critical re-evaluation of the photos. Evaluate every single one. For example, does the Holiday Bowl photo add anything? Maybe not? Check to see that the old logo is not copyrighted. Taking a photo of it doesn't invalidate copyright protection. I suspect that it is not copyrighted, but check.

The lede is only one paragraph. Also re-evaluate that. See if you can make at least two paragraphs but do it for clarity and purpose, not just put a paragraph break in there.

The history is lopsided. You mean there is little history for the past 50 years?

Also re-evaluate the people listed. Why list such and such.

This was removed by Wizardman. This is improper. If he did not think it was GA material, there is a nomination process. However, to work with others, I now am co-reviewing this article.

Please co-review it with me. The co-reviewer will have final say on the decision. My comments are advisory but have to be considered in good faith.
