Obviously it's something the powers that be want enforced. If the penalty is 5 Tees you got to do it.

And, up until this clarification, we were going to do it this way as well. At the meeting, there was more time spent on uniform issues than any other POE.
There was one point brought up during the meeting that may be a part of the problem, and that is the suppliers of these uniforms. He brought up, as an example, one of the Ohio State uniforms (sorry Mark, not meaning to pick on OSU again, just relaying what I was told) where the side panel color kind of "flows" up into the front. Suppliers show schools these types of uniforms in the catalog, tell them they can get the same thing in their school colors, and AD's say, "Sure!" without checking if they are actually legal. So many schools have spent the money to upgrade, only to find out they spent money on illegal uniforms. Is it the schools' fault for not making sure? Of course they should bear some of the responsibility. But they don't necessarily have the funds available to just go out and buy the correct uniforms right now, especially after just making a major purchase in the last year or two. But shouldn't the suppliers bear some of the responsibility? Why are the suppliers pushing illegal uniforms?
