Fails WP:GNG and WP:NSEASONS. The University of Chicago fielded a major football program from the 1890s until the 1930s. The school then disbanded its football program for 23 years. While football did return in the 1960s, it has not in the past 60 years been played at a major college level. (The Maroons play in Division III -- the lowest level recognized by the NCAA.) This article is an outlier -- the only stand-alone article for a UC football team covering the post-major era. The article lacks independent sourcing, and my WP:BEFORE searches found no significant coverage for the 2014 team in any independent sources (not even local Chicago papers). Finally, even at the Division III level, the 2014 Chicago team was not ranked and was not among the 32 teams participating in the Division III playoffs. Cbl62 ( talk) 17:19, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
