Everyone was wrong...
First off, let me preface by saying that I know the crew that worked this game, I work with a couple of them all the time here in Omaha... I feel terrible because their hands were tied...BUT, when we ask coaches before the game if their players are properly equipped, we expect to get an honest answer.
All the Burke coach had to do during a pregame conference was say hey, we've got this fundraiser, our girls are wearing light pink unis, is that a problem? I'd turn to the other coach, and ask him/her if it was an issue... 10 times out of 10 they'd say no, and we'd be covered.
Is the Columbus AD in the wrong when it comes to the 'spirit' of the rule--absolutely. You know who's the 'most' wrong--the Omaha World-Herald, for making a huge story out of it (and then covering their own *** and donating $1000 to Make-a-Wish)
