LSU player had a tinted eyeshield. Annoucers said must be doctors orders. Doctor or not, that is not allowed NCAA or NF. What gives?

Announcers have a tendency to "Guess" if they don't know.

They also tend to speak as if they wrote the rule book and know it cover to cover -- they don't.

TV fellas thought it was against the rules. (Wow, commentators know a rule.) The sideline reporter said it was doctor's orders and the crew wasn't sure.
Not sure?!

Tinted glasses and goggles are ok, not the shield.
