I hope it doesn't sound like I'm try to diminish your idea and your efforts, but isn't all of that information already on Wikipedia?

And if you're going to have this site, you need to have someone watching it more closely. I only looked at two pages on your site and I found one huge error (which I corrected) and countless spelling and grammar errors.

That's how the Wiki works. We all monitor and edit it as needed. Thanks for doing your part.

Far from it. And more to the point -- a few of our members tried to create a NCAAbbs page on Wikipedia... after which what I can only describe as the "wiki mod mafia" showed up ..... those members suggested... "well eff this load of crap, we could do better ourselves."

And so NCAAWiki was born.

Now there's another mistake on the Big East page. Syracuse stopped using the jagged "SU" logo nearly two years ago. Now's it's just a big "S." Not to keep harping on this point, but Wikipedia has it right.

it's new, it's not going to be perfect off the bat. hence why it's member driven.

It's not clear how to edit images, so making it "member driven" won't be very effective. It also won't be very effective if you have "members" who don't know what the fark they're writing about. The person who wrote that Penn State was in the Big East before going to the Big Ten should never be allowed to write anything for that site again.

If that's wrong then correct it.

I corrected that part last week. Since then somebody added the logos and got SU's wrong.
