If we tried to combine any of these rule-making bodies, who's going to be the one to have less say or more say on the committee? I'm sure there are a number of people within the NF that don't want any part of the college game. There are probably just as many in the NCAA that don't want to consider kids that play HS or grade school in the rules decisions. So, there will be differences.

At least they haven't changed the rule where the most number of points wins.

Let us take it a step further. I know many are probably only thinking of what might happen as it relates to basketball. Basketball from what I can tell has more similarities between rules than most sports I am aware of. Football has over 200 differences from NCAA to NF. You really think the NCAA is going to want to throw out all their rules that coaches have spent years trying to "screw" just to make everything similar for HS kids? I do not think so.
