IYC: This will be the first year since 1958 that a college basketball player can wear the numbers 6, 7, 8, or 9 on their jersey.

I don't think many people realized that those numbers were banned on jerseys in college to make things easier for the refs in signaling to the scoring table.

The big question is: how many players will wear the number 69?
