The rule was put in when Kareem Abdul Jabbar(Lew Alcindor then)was a freshman at UCLA.Their freshman team(frosh weren't eligible for varsity then)beat the varsity team quite badly in a scrimmage.The rule was supposedly put in the next year so he wouldn't be as dominate.Sports Illustrated even ran a story to that effect just before his sophmore year in their basketball issue.
