Is there a UIL exception on names on backs of jerseys?

No But the NCAA and the rules editor have basically open the door.    As long as the message is politically correct there's no reason not to allow it.  And yes I am willing to be the arbiter on what is politically correct and not politically correct on the uniform.

Mike, the August 2014 memo from the NCAA says only service academies can substitute anything for name plates. Civilian institutions can only have a players name there.

Good thing we are not subject to the NCAA "punishments" .

 The NCAA gave at least 2 waivers to non service academies.  The whole thing is BS.  They put in the rule to keep people from going nuts and putting something stupid or offensive.  Does anyone think the word "family" is offensive?  Even the atheists who have a seizure when they see John 3:16 someplace would not object to this.

You can bet someone from UIL was there! Would anyone not play the SC game because of it?

I wouldn't not play any game because of it.
