Doesn't this set us up for a penalty every quarter? This sounds like the names will be where the players' names would typically be located. NCAA Rule 1-4-5 clearly states:

Quote:Other than the player’s number, the jersey may only contain:
Player’s name;
School name;
Mascot name;
NCAA logo;
Sleeve stripes;
Logo for school, conference, mascot, postseason-game, memorial, the military;
American flag;
State flag.

Quote:Teams wearing jerseys/numerals that do not conform to this rule
will be asked to change into legal jerseys before the game and before
the start of each quarter until the jerseys are changed. Officials shall
charge a team timeout at the start of each quarter the illegal jerseys
are worn. (A. R. 1-4-5-I)

Did the NCAA grant us an exemption? Are we just wearing a patch and I'm misreading this?

Yeah, the NCAA is going to impose penalties for putting the the names of sick kids on the jerseys. Just the PR move that they need

I agree it is a PR nightmare, but they've been extremely strict with this rule. Honestly, I'd say the rule has already been a PR nightmare, but they have not budged on it. They have been especially strict when we're talking about where only the players' names can be.

It was cleared with all appropriate governing bodies.
