Assess : newly added and existing articles, maybe nominate some good B-class articles for GA; independently assess some as A-class, regardless of GA status.
Cleanup :
* Sport governing body (this should-be-major article is in a shameful state)
* Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.)
* Standardize Category:American college sports infobox templates to use same font size and spacing.
* Sport in the United Kingdom - the Popularity section is incorrect and unsourced. Reliable data is required.
* Fix project template and/or "to do list" Current version causes tables of content to be hidden unless/until reader chooses "show."
Expand : Professional sports (crucial article explaining the salaried undertaking of sports)
* Sport industry (currently a sub-stub)
Photo : for pages listed in Category:Wikipedia requested images of sports and games and sub-categories.
Stubs : work on articles in Category:Sports stubs

Otto Schnellbacher[edit]

I'm a little curious as to why Otto Schnellbacher is not listed in the notable players section. He lettered in both football and basketball and has been called one of Kansas's best athletes. He's got his own wiki page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.255.253.90 (talk) 11:40, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Non-athletic championships[edit]

The first sentence of the article was misinformation and I have corrected it. It formerly said "The Kansas Jayhawks are the athletic teams" when the inverse of that is what it should have said: "the athletic teams are called Jayhawks."

Jeff in CA removed my addition of the Debate Championships because they are "Not an athletic title".

So either the debate championships should be restored (perhaps in a new section titled "National Team Academic Titles") or the title of this article should be changed to "Kansas Jayhawks Athletic Teams".
