The LEAD can be as large as about 3000 characters, I am surprised this one is less than 2000 characters (1961). I suggest reviewing the article and including a summary of each section here. Omitting mention of the phrase Golden Dome is glaring.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:03, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The last paragraph in this subsection seems introductory either for this subsection or section. I feel like before reading about the 5 colleges, I should have known that the students are all in one of them after their first year.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:35, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Graduate and professional schools
"before a formal graduate school education was developed with a thesis not required to receive the degrees" should be rephrased. I think you mean before graduate school curriculum was developed or before modern graduate degree requirements were established. "a thesis not required to receive the degrees" should be presented in a separate sentence (with the word was added).--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:47, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"The Fighting Irish previously competed in the Horizon League from 1982-83 to 1985-86, and again from 1987-88 to 1994-95, and then in the Big East Conference through 2012–13." needs proper citation as does the following sentence.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:02, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Is there any standard for who should be included in this list? There are a couple things that stand out to me. First, that Charlie Weis is included in the famous alumni coaches but Frank Leahy is left out. I guess Charlie's failures as a coach do not mean that he is not famous, but Leahy should also be there. Secondly, why is Megan Duffy included? I had never heard of her and had to look her up. Sounds like she never made it in the WNBA and has been an assistant coach in a couple places? If we're going to list women's basketball players, shouldn't it be Ruth Riley or Skylar Diggins? I'll wait a while for anyone else to respond before I make changes, but if nobody says anything I will add Leahy and remove Duffy. Tonyvolo (talk) 17:02, 30 December 2015 (UTC)Tonyvolo[reply]
In general, this article has a long way to go. It will take a lot of research to update it and there are many other issues with the current state of the article. Considering its current state and lingering issues related to the GA1, I don't see it as likely that these concerns will be addressed within one week. I am failing this article.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:39, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
