I agree, and I'm not going to sit with a roster checking numbers to see who the players are. So, it's always difficult for me to learn the players. Also, and I'm just speculating here, but I'd think the players and potential recruits would like seeing their names on their jerseys.
I believe most major programs have the players' names. Just my opinion but I can't believe it's that big of a contributor to building the "team" concept but this is just my opinion..
