It's hard to believe (for me) because I can't see the NCAA allowing one of its rule-making bodies to enact a rule that contradicts an NCAA by-law. Kind of like allowing a state to enact a law that contradicts the US Constitution.

Wearing Apparel Items that Display Logos During Competition. A student-athlete representing
an institution in intercollegiate competition is limited to wearing apparel items that include only the
logo (not to exceed 2 1/4 square inches) of an apparel manufacturer or distributor. The studentathlete
may not wear any apparel (e.g., hat, visor, shirt, pennies) that identifies any entity other than
the student-athlete's institution and the apparel manufacturer or distributor.

Thanks for posting this, but it doesn't say that a player can wear a manufacturer's logo on his/her jersey. It only says that IF a player is legally wearing a logo, it must be the logo of the item's manufacturer or distributor. In other words, a golfer may wear a hat with the Nike swoosh on it, but may not wear a patch for Hooters, for example.
So I am still left wondering why no one has made a stink about the logos.
