NCAA and FED rules are well defined and I don't run into people who would insist on such idiocy as banning eyewear. I wear sunglasses everywhere, including the plate and I couldn't imagine telling someone they aren't allowed to protect their eyes, but I guess some of you feel that's OK.
You would not work any league here if you refuse to call "their" rules. Try telling your NCAA or FED assignor that you don't like a rule and not going to call it. I am not particulary fond of some FED rules but I enforce them. Personally, I think a pitcher wearing sunglasses is dangerous, but there is not a rule against it unless a league makes it so. Sounds like you need to spend all your time on your boat.
