After looking through the list of former featured articles, I feel that the 'education' section is lacking in quality and quantity. I, along with a number of other contributors, have spent a great deal of time working on this article and feel that the content is neutral, informative, and well-referenced. It definitely deserves a chance at becoming a featured article in the future. I would particularly like to get good feedback from those who have no knowledge of the university, or, perhaps, those supporting the school's rivals. ;) Thanks in advance, and all of us Texas Longhorns appreciate your efforts! -

That's probably a good idea; the prose format will let me throw in some more information about the items in the lists. I'll get around to that soon. Thanks. -

Start the article with a more clear and concise description, rather than the accolades. Also, in these accolades be more descriptive about what "top" means (in terms of what? forever or just in 2005?)
Reference four doesn't say it has "one of the largest" network of living alumni "of any American university."
Please provide references for these kinds of statements:
"...2002 analysis performed by Sports Illustrated."
What is the difference between a university and a college in the US? In Canada a university has four-year programs which offer under-grad and grad degrees. A college has two-year programs and offer (usually more specialized) diplomas.
Place a conversion of fifty leagues in brackets. 50 leagues = 150 miles or 241 kilometers. Why would they promise a distance and not an area?
Please reference all quotes, including: “at an early day.”, “university of the first class,”
Try putting the "Other notable facilities" in prose, perhaps with a map of campus? and use the footnote system to point the reader to the external links.
"Faculty and research" has a lot of info that may be disputed or dated. Provide clear reference to where all the numbers are coming from.
"Student media and film" and "Facilities" should be converted to prose (map of facilities?)
