How about I link LSU's compliance office..
quote:
?The LSU Compliance Office has issued several Cease & Desist notifications for products including the name, likeness and/or image of LSU football student-athlete Tyrann Mathieu.
Please be advised that the sale of any products and/or advertisements including the name, likeness or image of this individual or any other LSU student-athlete is in violation of NCAA Bylaw 12.5.2.2 and could have a negative impact on the involved student-athlete's eligibility.
Apparel or paraphernalia including the phrase "Honey Badger" accompanied by the number 7 or the individual's name or any other variation thereof (e.g., TM7, TM, HB7, etc.) is prohibited. Because it is a recognizable nickname, "Honey Badger" is considered a likeness of Tyrann Mathieu under NCAA regulations.
LINK
This is a tad bit different because it requires the additional identifiers simply because Honey Badger was around well before Mathieu as an internet meme.

trying to justify this from a legal, logic, or reason, point of view doesn't apply to the NCAA. The NCAA is going to look at it like this: Who is going to buy these shirts? LSU fans. Who is going to profit from these sales? LF and his family. Who will take the brunt of the repercussions? LSU
