Subject: No names on back of jersey question Author: Yankee [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:37:39 01/19/09 Mon Is it NCAA policy that walk-ons don't get a name on their jersey? If it is, that makes no sense. It basically is a slap in the face. What would be the point of this rule? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Some teams have no names at all. It might be more of a conference thing. I know Cleveland State doesn't have names, and watching their conference games, I haven't noticed names on their opponents jerseys. The MAAC does require names on the jerseys, so I'm surprised that Marist hasn't ;yet given the young man his name on his jersey. Maybe because he came to the team so late, after the jerseys were already; produced??? Also, Erin Leger, when she was a walk-on had her name on the back of her jersey. And didn't young Dave Magarity have his name when he played?

[> [> Subject: If not rule, they need to give them jerseys. Author: Yankee [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:05:37 01/19/09 Mon Makes them stand out as if they don't belong. Serves no purpose. I can state this because it came up last game. A fan asked why one of the players didn't have a number. Other fan told her it was because he was a walk-on. Why add that stigma. They are as much a part of the team as the others. I want their names on the jersey, and I want it done by Friday:)))))))))).
