I'll review this article sometime tomorrow. To start though, I'd like to see the lead expanded, one para for 13kb of prose isn't that much. Wizardman 04:43, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here are my concerns:

  • As noted, expand the lead (do this for your two other GA noms as well, I know it'll be brought up).
 Done
  • "The NCAA is private non-profit organization " is a
 Done
  • " Two member schools of the CFA, the University of Oklahoma (Oklahoma) and the University of Georgia (Georgia) filed suit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma seeking an injunction to prevent the NCAA from taking action against CFA members.[fn 6][4][6][9][10][13][12][14]" Two things here. First, are the Oklahoma and Georgia in parenthesis necessary? Also, why so many footnotes for the one sentence? Surely a few superlative ones could be trimmed out.
 Done, also trimmed out another parenthetical that was not needed. I corrected the references to be more concise, using Bluebook citation style, and trimmed out some unneeded references.
  • link Broadcast Music, Inc. v. Columbia Broadcast System, Inc.
 Done
  • "Between 2009 and 2012, six major football programs (Southern California, the University of Miami, Ohio State University, the University of North Carolina, Auburn University, and the University of Oregon) have been under investigation and/or sanctioned for players accepting inappropriate benefits. This has led to the first ever vacated national championship (USC, 2004) and could lead to other vacated championships pending current investigations (Miami-2001, Auburn-2010)" I'm not sure how this connects to the case, felt like it was just something that was added in to add something in.
 Done, it was added by an IP while I was off wikipedia, and I had just never removed it.

I'll put the article on hold and will pass when the issues are fixed. Wizardman 05:30, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Everything checks out now, so I'll pass the article. Wizardman 04:47, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
