Call me old school, but basketball jerseys shouldn't have sleeves, let alone LONG sleeves. The unis that Nike is cladding four tourney teams in remind you of just how much influence the company at One Bowerman Drive has over college sports. Don't laugh, or they'll play this dirty joke on your team.
