In both cases, the NY state high school association believes (justifiably so, IMO) that the NFHS rules simply do not prepare the kids well enough for the college level of each sport, rules wise..I was wondering if any place feels the same way about football....

Yes, Texas and Massachusetts use NCAA. Some states modify NFHS rules a little. Not sure which ones though.
