My main fault with the article is that the history of the basketball and hockey seem underveloped. The football is fine, but basketball and football need to be expanded. Hanuab 09:33, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of May 15, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a GA review. Thank you for your work so far. — Timpcrk87 03:14, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Per the new resolution at Wikipedia:Featured topic criteria, the Michigan State University featured topic will be eligible for removal after 1 January 2008 if this article, Michigan State Spartans is not improved to GA or FA level. Thanks.-- Pharos 03:28, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
I went through and I think I've correctly done the number of sports. Men: Baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, ice hockey, swimming & diving, soccer, tennis, track and field, and wrestling. That totals to 11. Women: Basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track and field, and volleyball. That totals to 12 So there are a total of 23 teams. Going through that, if I added right there are 16 varsity sports, or else 14 if you count cross country and T&F to be the same, and if you count ice hockey and field hockey to be the same.

I see that this article has improved a great deal since its last nomination, but I feel that it is still not good enough. There are some sections that could use expansion, and some more refs should be found.
My main concern with this article is the dead links. As you can see here, there are many dead links in the article. One these are fixed, and the above is addressed, feel free to re-nominate this article. iMat thew 20 08 10:47, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Altogether it looks pretty good. I'll put it on hold while the above points are addressed. Peanut4 ( talk) 15:55, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

**"MSU has a number of team sports." It might be better to repeat other sports here since you've already mentioned three in separate sections above.
Following a speedy response to the above review, I'm passing it as a GA. It's probably a good basis for pushing this article on further but perhaps could do with beefing up the text and ensuring there is no supposed bias. The article may also be slightly recentist. Just ensure those last two don't become too apparent, and I'm sure with more work, you could work towards FAC. Peanut4 ( talk) 21:53, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
