So I am still left wondering why no one has made a stink about the logos.

Did you look at the links Cobra posted?
The NCAA cut a deal with manufacturers that allows this. The memo from the NCAA is clear: if the manufacturer gets the NCAA approval on their shirts, then they can put their logo on them.
This is the official word from the NCAA:
For the 2010-11 season, this program is voluntary. Participation in the program, however, allows the manufacturer to place its logo on the game jersey, which is not currently allowed by NCAA playing rules. The program becomes mandatory for Division I in the 2011-12 season and for Divisions II and III in the 2013-14 season.
