Where did you come up with that rationale?
Even though NCAA allows the block below the waist on most downs, they did toughen up just who and where that block is allowed with a rule change for 2003. So it can be said they do consider safety.
For those two states playing NCAA rules, both have block below the waist overrides. So they are no different than NF in that regards. I can't think of any other rules that makes the NF more safe than NCAA or for that matter any NCAA rules that make it less safe then NF.
It is simply a political feud going back to the mid-1930's.
