Page is huge

I would strongly consider splitting this article into multiple articles. De FaultRyan 15:50, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's not actually too bad. The university's main article is 89 kilobytes too long and this one is only 75. How would you suggest splitting it and would you handle that along with correcting links and redirects? →Wordbuilder (talk) 16:04, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's 75 kB with virtually no markup whatsoever, and it's a huge scroll as well. If we beefed it out, added infoboxes, prose, references, etc to look like some of the other project articles, it would be quite large. For instance, Penn State Nittany Lions football under Joe Paterno (in the Big Ten) covers just 16 seasons and comes to 188 kB. This article could easily grow to over 500 kB if fleshed out. I'd recommend splitting it by head coach, the way Georgia, Minnesota, Utah, and others have. We could just point the current individual season redirects to the newly split articles. It shouldn't be too hard, because there are just 12 coaching tenures to worry about, and you've already done a lot of the work of compiling the schedule info. I could get a couple of them started.

Okay, sounds good to me and splitting by head coach is logical. →Wordbuilder (talk) 21:48, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
