I don't believe eligible receivers can wear numbers between 50 and 79.

This is obviously true in the NFL, but once upon a time you could wear any number you wanted in college, or at least I think you could. Am I wrong? Has that changed? Wide receivers wear single digits all the time in college, for example.

I was in a discussion about this a while back (might have been on the Bootie), and someone pointed out to me that the college eligible receiver number rules are quite a bit different from the NFL rules. There's a good summary on Wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eligible_receiver
