That saying gets said by sports fans all the time, but it's never really resonated with me. While of course as a player, I never wanted to do anything that would embarrass my coach or the university I played for, and always wanted to be viewed as a classy, respectful, team-focused student-athlete, I'm far more concerned about disappointing my parents and family than I am a coach or school. I played for both. 

 

Also, not sure there's any correlation to winning percentage/winning championships, and having no names on the jerseys. 

 

 

The name on the front means more than the one on the back.

I agree and disagree. You don't want to disgrace your own name, but at the same time you shouldn't put yourself over your team/group/squad/branch etc etc either.

Personally I don't care if the jersey has names on it or not. I'd prefer not but it doesn't effect me either way. I just know X likes to argue and I'm bored. Lol

Are you saying that any given player is bigger than the institution itself? And that is ok in your book?

I'm saying a player will always care more about himself and his family than a University.

They will be there moving forward.

One small change for next year...another star.

 

I don't mind subtle changes.  Alternate uni's are a lot better than changing completely.  We can check what we like a little at a time.  Personally, I like the uniforms we wore in last year's tourneys.  A very clean look with no stripes.
