Fed just wants to be different and I wish they would stick to safety differences, like malicious contact, force play slide rule, etc.

It's possible you don't know this. The NCAA created the "stay-in-the-box" rule in 1994. I suppose they just wanted to be different. But the FED said, "Not through the iron duke!" They adopted that rule in 1995. I suppose they just did
not want to be different.
