Wearing the correct color undershirt under the uniform jersey.

Over the weeked I was perusing such sports sites as ESPN, SI, and Fox Sports and I came upon a picture taken during the Washington State at Gonzaga game played on Dec. 05th. I was suprised to see that one of the WSU players was wearing a white undershirt with sleeves that went down to his elbows under his very dark red sleeveless jersey. I am sure that this a direct violation of NCAA R3-S5-A11, which states:

An undershirt is considered to be part of the game jersey and must be
a color similar to that of the game jersey. In addition, the sleeves and neckline of undershirts shall be unaltered. (e.g., no cut-off sleeves or cut necklines). Both sleeves shall be of the same length and not extend beyond the elbows. No logos, decorations, trim, commemorative patches, lettering or numbering may be used on an undershirt. An illegal undershirt shall not be worn.

I checked the box score to see who the officials were for the game, they were Rick Batsell, Tim Gabutero, Randy Burkhart. Does anybody know if this was a PAC-10 crew or a West Coast Conference crew. I was very suprised to see a blatant violation of the rules.
