Team Photo
Wasn't sure where to put the team photo, since it seems kind of barren to place it on a page all by itself, and where this photo goes wasn't addressed in any of the documentation. Talked with Samantha Ezell, and she said the roster page would be a good place for the team photo, [since the roster is a list of the individuals on a team, so both the team photos, and its players would be shown here, and these both relate to an academic year].

Schedule/Results
Video Link/Feed
In the future, if required, the schedule/results pages (the Drupal content type) could be expanded to include a Video link (Embedded Media Field) so that if a game were videotaped, a direct link to the video for this game could be placed here by pasting in the the YouTube URL.
Photo Link/Feed
Additionally, a Flickr or Smugmug field (Embedded Media Field) could be added to this content type to display photos from a particular game.
Note about Smugmug: Michael Burm takes many pictures of PC Sports, and publishes his work on Smugmug, thus the note about Smugmug as a photo link or feed. Of course, this would need to be discussed ahead of time with Mr. Burm if it were to be considered. http://www.mjbphoto.smugmug.com/
Link Field
A link field could be added in the future, so each game could link to somewhere, such as a news article about the game.
These would be game-specific links and fields, not general links. At this time, it's not needed and would be additional content to manage, but would not be too difficult to set up if athletics wanted to use it at a later time.

Results Column
Samantha Ezell explained that if a game is not played yet (no score entered), the score should be completely blank. If a game HAS been played and the score is tied, this can be called a Draw ("D"). A draw can be 0-0, 1-1, 2-2, or any game where the score is tied, even if it's tied at 0-0. Wins and Losses can be labeled "W" and "L", respectively.
