WP:NOTDIR, no real context otherwise. fetchcomms☛ 22:41, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also WP:CRYSTAL. I see how some, like 2010 Florida Gators football team might be OK, but this article possesses little of the items present there. fetchcomms☛ 22:42, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per no apparent reason to delete other than to make a point that one should wait until autumn to write an article. The 2011 or 2012 season I could understand, but later this year, no. WP:CRYSTAL applies only to speculative events that might occur. Every major college football team's 2010 schedule is already arranged. It's not as if they wait until the last minute to decide who to compete against next week. Mandsford (talk) 13:37, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. WP:CRYSTAL does not apply. We tend to do current season articles on all major conference teams. And considering they are now in the offseason, this would be the current season article. --Smashville^talk 21:44, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Kentucky has just hired a new coach, assembling a new coaching staff with news coming out daily about high school athletes committing to play next year for Kentucky and coaches signing to coach at Kentucky next season. The schedule is complete and is firm, the returning roster and depth chart will be completed in March when spring practice starts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trocksuk4415 (talk • contribs) 19:10, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep - as per above. GoCuse44 (talk) 03:06, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As noted in the first subsection of WP:CRYSTAL, scheduled future events should only be included if notable and almost certain to take place. The 2010 football season for Kentucky will covered by reliable sources across the US and, barring the university discontinuing its football program, is virtually certain to take place. In fact, preseason information, such as sourced information on recruiting, is already in the article. –Grondemar 04:34, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
