NF rules require the sub to be within 15 yards of the ball when it is snapped.
They further state that the substitution process is used to deceive opponents at or just before the snap, it is a foul.
NCAA requires the sub touch up inside the 9-yard marks before he sets up anywhere else.

Thiesey,
You're close on the rule here but not quite right on. I believe the rule actually says the sub must be within 15 yards of the ball at some point after the ready for play and before the snap. He does not have to be within 15 yards of the ball when it is snapped. NCAA rule looks fine.
