The religious affiliation or designation as "non-sectarian" is not so clear cut. For example, Duke University describes its ties with Methodism as "formal, on-going, and symbolic" [1] while Wake 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 its Jesuit 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 the Catholic University of America, which is under the direct auspices of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, or the University of Notre Dame, which is governed by "fellows" who must be priests of the Congregation 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 at Georgetown 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. -- 24.63.125.78 10:18, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
While maintaining the college athletic conference categories, I moved the football champions raw text from Category:Big West Conference and minimally Wikified it. No matter what, this content did not belong in the Category page, but rather belongs in the main article, if anywhere. Regular editors of this page, please verify veracity of this information, then please remove this comment. — Optikos 23:13, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Image:Bigwestnew.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 01:15, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
I made a lot of changes to this article, mostly coming from these media guides:
Mens Soccer: http://www.bigwest.org/sports/msoccer/release.pdf
Women's Soccer: http://www.bigwest.org/sports/wsoccer/2007_WSoc_Guide.pdf
However, there's still a few oddities. First, it should be mentioned that Long Beach and Pacific do not field Men's Soccer teams, so those attendance figures and stadiums were taken from the Women's guide. However, the mens guide says the Spanos Stadium capacity is 17,750 while the women's says it's 17,775. Does anyone have an official number? Also, both media guides say Harder Stadium is 17,000, so I believe 16,000 (which is on the Wikipedia article for Harder Stadium as well) is incorrect. Also, the previous figure in this article for Stagg stadium was 28,000, but the women's soccer media guide says it is 30,000. Can anyone go through my corrections and make sure they all check out? Thanks!
I noticed that conferences in List 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, review
Current 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 see Draft 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 the Talk page of Project College football SPhilbrick (Talk) 12:49, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
Let's not jump the gun here. They're committed for one more year, and will depart on June 30, 2013. [3] Please don't move them into "former members" until that date. On July 1 we can also add SDSU to the timeline too. hbdragon88 ( talk) 05:46, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
