Problem is what else might be posted on eyeblack. Yes, that stops another Tim Tebow from posting John 3:16 under his eyes. But it also stops “Allah Akbar”, “Praise Gaia” or other more inflamatory things as well.
The NCAA has opted for a blanket prohibition as opposed to trying to legislate what is acceptable or not. I can understand their position. Just sad that it has come to this is all.
I’m going to tattoo ‘allah akbar’ on my pet pigs’ ass.

Exactly.
It’s a free speech issue, rs, so I don’t mind if they put alla akbar on their eyeblack.
To allow messages, and only to forbid religious messages is an equal opportunity issue.
They must ban ALL messages, to include NIKE, Tostidos, etc., or they are selectively permitting messages on some athletes but not on other. JMHO.
