Alumni without articles

From a page in The Dallas Morning News online sports section, here is a list of SOC grads who made a name in sports; I've removed from the list all the entries who already have Wikipedia articles. Someone might want to make stub articles for these folks, as they are at least minor notables, but make sure not to link to a name without making sure it's the right person, as so far there are two of these who share the name of UK footballers (= soccer player):

Ira Albright Buffalo Bills nose tackle/running back (1987); 1978, Football
Egypt Allen Former Bears defensive back (1987) went to college at TCU; 1982, Football
Marvin Ayers Defensive end for Eagles (1987); played collegiately at SMU; 1982, Football
Danny Colbert Former Chargers defensive back (1974-76) went to Tulsa, TCU; 1969, Football
Cornelius Dozier Former Chiefs defensive back (1987) played collegiately at SMU; 1982, Football
Chris Gilbert (football player) SOC head football coach; 1994, Football [This is NOT the Chris Gilbert already listed in Wikipedia; do not link!]
Quadrice Harris, Member of 1994-96 indoor and outdoor track champions at St. Augustine College; 1993, Track
Joe Hayes (football player), Former Eagles running back/wide receiver (1984); 1979, Football [note: This is NOT the Joe Hayes already listed in Wikipedia; do not link!]
Bobby Wayne Hill, Member of Marshall football team killed in a plane crash in 1970; 1969, Football
Joe King (football player), Former NFL defensive back (1991-93, 1995) for Bengals, Browns, Bucs and Raiders; went to Okla. St.; 1986, Football
Roy "Father" Lumpkin, Former NFL quarterback/running back (1930-37) for Portsmouth, Detroit and Brooklyn; went to Ga. Tech; 1925, Football
Ronnie Morgan Sr. Southland Conference's newcomer of the year in 1988 at North Texas; 1986, Basketball
Gary Spann LB played at TCU; drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 1986; 1981, Football

I've now updated the list above, removing three people who now have articles (Tim Collier, Oscar Roan, and Durwood Roquemore). The remainder should be restored to the SOC article when and if they receive WP entries of their own.Lawikitejana (talk) 20:30, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Update on AYP status?

The last mention of the school's status regarding Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is some five years old. We should update the article to indicate whether or not they returned to "academically acceptable," or whatever their status has been in the intervening years.
