Syracuse IS HOWEVER, one of only a couple schools in the nation who make deals with the player, allowing the "S" for instance to be a part of the merch.

From SI... "Syracuse partnered with star guard Buddy Boeheim, son of legendary coach Jim, on apparel that features his own personal logo—a silhouette of Buddy, midshot—accompanied by the school’s block S. The reveal of the apparel shook administrators who are apprehensive about athletes using school marks because they believe the practice will impact their contracts with trademark licensing companies that pay schools millions annually for the right to those marks. “Some universities are scared of it,” says Syracuse director of compliance Mark Wheeler, who helped orchestrate Boeheim’s deal. “We viewed it as more of a positive.”

Syracuse deputy athletic director Andrew Goodrich says that he already hears prospects asking the question: Will I be able to use school marks? The issue is big enough for athletes that in August, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh brought the chairman of the school’s board of regents to practice to inform players that they could, in fact, use UM’s block M logo in their own commercial transactions. In a video posted on social media, the team roared its approval."
