Mid

• Articles on individual traditions and mascots (e.g., Guns Up, The Masked Rider)
• Articles on primary sports facilities that do not qualify to be classified as high importance (e.g., City Bank Coliseum, Foster Field, The Rawls Course)
• Articles on the sports that do not qualify to be classified as high importance
• Articles on individual years for teams that finished ranked in the top 25 of the AP Poll, Coaches Poll, or other poll of like stature (e.g., 2007 Texas Tech Red Raiders football team)
• Articles on individual bowl games that do not qualify to be classified as high importance
• Lists of notable people (e.g. List of Texas Tech University people)
• Articles on faculty, current students, alumni, and coaches who do not qualify to be classified as high importance (e.g., Kristy Curry, Stan David, Pat Knight)

Low

• Articles on extension campuses (e.g., Texas Tech University at Abilene, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Amarillo Campus)
• Articles on individual campus structures not used for athletics (e.g., Houston Harte University Center, Texas Technological College Dairy Barn)
• Articles on individual years for teams that did not finish ranked in the top 25 (e.g., 2006 Texas Tech Red Raiders football team)
• Articles on former students who did not graduate but attended long enough to be included in the project (e.g. G. W. Bailey, Grace Halsell).
• Articles on former coaches of the less-visible sports (e.g., tennis, track & field, etc.) who did not have a major accomplishment (e.g., conference title) while at the university (e.g., Cari Groce) and former coaches of any sport who later coached at another university.

What to exclude

• Articles only tangentially connected to institutions in the project:
  • The Boy in the Plastic Bubble—Even though one of the doctors portrayed in the movie (the real life Mary Ann South) was later a professor and chair of the Department of Pediatrics at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, this is not enough to include the movie. However, in the event that an article on South is ever created, it would qualify for inclusion.
  • Dr. T & the Women—The appearance of the Double T logo is not sufficient to include the movie in this project.
  • Natalie Maines—It is appropriate to include her on the List of Texas Tech University people because she was a student. However, since she only took a single class at Texas Tech and received the rest of her college education elsewhere, she should not be included in this project.
