The religious affiliation or designation as "non-sectarian" is not so clear cut. For example,Duke University describes its ties withMethodism as "formal, on-going, and symbolic"[1] whileWake Forest University maintains "a dedication to the values rooted in its Baptist heritage"[2]. Both schools can be considered "non-sectarian" in that they are no longer under the direct auspices of their founding religious organizations. Likewise,Boston College maintains itsJesuit identity in spite of the fact that it severed its formal ties with the Jesuit Order (and thereby the Catholic Church) in the 1960s when it was independently incorporated under a lay board of trustees. Unlike theCatholic University of America, which is under the direct auspices of theUnited States Conference of Catholic Bishops, or theUniversity of Notre Dame, which is governed by "fellows," half of whom must be priests of theCongregation of Holy Cross, The Trustees of Boston College (BC's governing body) operate independent of any religious jurisdiction. This arrangement is probably similar to that at Duke or Wake Forest, except that the BC trustees have voluntarily chosen to elect members of the founding religious organization to the presidency (though they are not required to do so). In fact, similar arrangements exist at other Jesuit colleges and universities, where both women and non-clerics have been elected to presidency (most recently atGeorgetown University). All of this is to say that I think the nature of a school's religious affiliation is beyond the scope of this article, and that "public" or "private" suffice in the context of the members table. --24.63.125.7810:19, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A couple years after they departed, there's a fair amount of material still in the article that suggests Southern Utah is a current member of the conference, especially in the basketball section. Hoping someone else will step in update this, as I don't know pay attention to the sport. --SelfCorrection (talk)06:03, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In the section Current members (and year joined), I can't seem to figure out what order the schools are listed. To me, it would seem better to organize them, perhaps by year joined, alphabetical, number of students, etc.Sean118 (talk)03:01, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
For Washington-Grizzly Stadium, the phrase "largest in I-AA" appears after the capacity. This is incorrect. Seehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NCAA_Division_I_FCS_football_stadiums. Five of the eight Ivy League schools, which also play Division I FCS, are larger, and all are on-campus facilities. Franklin Field (Penn) seats more than 52,000 and the Yale Bowl seats more than 64,000. Several stadiums in the MEAC and SWAC are larger than Montana's, although I'm uncertain whether they're on-campus facilities. The two largest FCS stadiums, LP Field (Tennessee St.) and the Georgia Dome (Georgia St.) are actually NFL stadiums.—Precedingunsigned comment added bySilverSpring8 (talk •contribs)23:14, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed that conferences inList 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:
Some graphs have captions, some do not, and none are centered.To see the variety of styles, reviewCurrent 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 seeDraft 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 theTalk page of Project College footballSPhilbrick(Talk)00:15, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
