Just FYI, since most of you guys work Fed, the NCAA rule specifically says, "transparant." To me, that doesn't mean "unshaded." However, I don't work college, but I do work NCAA HS in Texas. Texas UIL (state assn.) says it must be clear and unshaded, so I don't need to go too deep on what "transparent" means. Only exceptions are with written authorization filed with the state office. They can't come out with a piece of paper at game time to get around it.
For you guys that work Fed and get trouble from HS coaches complaining about what's going on in college games, just say, "Coach, they play under different rules," and end it at that. I don't care if the wording is similar or even the same. Often there are different interpretations between the various committees. I would say something similar -- "coach, we have exceptions in HS that they don't have."
If that doesn't work, just say, "OK, Coach," and end it there.
