Here is a big problem with your point of view. The NF does not govern local associations in any way. In my state all schools decide to join the IHSA. It is up to each individual school to decide if they will compete for the championships that the IHSA uses. There are also local leagues that use the NF rules by choice and use modified rules that go against written NF rules. There are also states that use rules that are very specific to their state or region. It is really pointless.

I also remember when the NCAA wanted to disallow kneeling down after TDs in football games. Jerry Farwell who was the President of Liberty University sued the NCAA over that issue and the NCAA backed off and allowed such things to be celebrated. The NCAA has much more money than the NF, so I do not see this going to court anytime soon.
