I hope next they ban girlfriends/boyfriends of athletes who have letter jackets from wearing them, even briefly, as they obviously aren't playing at the varsity level either and don't deserve to wear them.

This is ridiculous. The student is participating in sports as a representative of the school. Perhaps his level isn't "varsity" but he's participating at the highest level he can. He's more deserving of a jacket then the kid whose on the football team that is varsity and maybe plays a minute of the game or just sits on the bench all game.
