Heard there are plans for this, but I'll believe it when I see it. Kinda like the alleged "interest" we have in FBS football.

I think there are NCAA rules that the players cannot have their jerseys because it's a gift or something?

Seems like they could sell them to them at cost......

I think very few would not of been interested in purchasing at cost.

All the players received their jerseys from the National Championship. There is a gift limit per player per year. If the limit is 350 then they would deduct the cost of the jersey - say 75 and the total in other gifts would be less. There is a rumor that Coach Houston paid for the Jerseys for the players. As to the school selling the jerseys - they could be extras that they have in case a jersey get's damaged or lost etc...A player cannot sell or trade their jersey (that is if they would) The only NCAA limitation is that they can't sell a jersey with a players name on it. Some schools won't sell a jersey with an active players number. Has to do with the lawsuit a few years ago about schools making money off of individual players - (IE Video Games).

Well that changes things a bit if they are not the game worn jerseys. Perhaps the school purchases extra in case one got destroyed or lost, or perhaps to sell. In the past JMU sold the jersey and any name tag you want, but the name tag was not attached.

They could be like the pros and have them change uniforms during halftime so they have multiples of "game-worn". In baseball they're probably changing hats, gloves, cleats and all every inning during the World Series.

I'm sure Houston would have approved of taking part halftime to switch Jerseys

It could be that they are auctioning 1 jersey or only a few, not the entire roster as with past auctions. Remember the helmet auction was only 1 or 2 IIRC, not the entire team.
