That kinda sat wrong with me. Seemed to me that the NF was willing to drop an equipment rule as long as any mfg. was willing to pony up enough $$$ . Where is the NFHS headquaters? Washington D.C.? Anyone else remember that?
For all the graft, corruption and back room dealing I've only seen the 10 panel ball a few times and never at a HS game. I don't mind this change, but I wouldn't want to see them legalize that rediculous looking international ball.

I noticed that the back cover of the new rule book has another Rawlings ball ad. Under the big "X" logo is stamped the word "TRUTH." What's that about?

Anybody else notice the one-legged girl on the front of the new book?
