REPLY: Fed rules are definitely simpler. As others have said, the Fed goes out of its way to avoid "exceptions." But this itself causes problems when they try to integrate new rules into the code.(Can you say PSK??) And it can be a challenge going from a Friday nite game (Fed) to a Saturday afternoon college game (NCAA). My first college game I almost blew a blocked try dead. Thankfully, I caught myself just before I blew.
Why do some states use Fed rules? 48 of the 50 states belong to the National Federation of High Schools and therefore subscribe to their rules. I guess that's the simple answer.
