If it's on a students personal device, they can suck my hullabaloo

Your system, your rules but their network and also their rules.

MAC randomization to the rescue!

My college used to tie your account to a maximum number of MAC addresses per year and you had to request more over the limit. I think it was like 4 or 5

MAC address cloning to the rescue!

You just have to make sure you don't get caught...

It says debarred. So, they will undo the barring?!
