Is a #0 jersey allowed in College Football?

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

Was just wondering this since I was watching a HS game on TV where a kid was wearing #0. Is it allowed in College Football?

This is the rule in the handbook for NCAA football:

"ARTICLE 2. a. All players shall be numbered 1 through 99. Any number preceded by zero (“0’’) is illegal."

The NCAA adheres to the Roman Era way of thinking and doesn't consider 0 as a number. The Julian Calender started in year 1, not 0 to 1, that's why the year 2000 was really 1999 and 2001 was really the year 2000. But than again the whole Gregorian Calender created in the late 1500's refutes that because the Julian Calender didn't consider leap year as a factor.

The NCAA is stupid in other words, use the fucking 0 and 00 as #'s fergodsakes, they're needed, WTF is that dumb rule in there for? SMH.
