Yankee, I don't think the NCAA has any input into names on the back of the jerseys at all. 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?

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:)))))))))).
