Has the dead horse been beaten enough yet?
My opinion:
I work games under both rulesets.
The NCAA rule is better than the NFHS rule.
The NFHS rule will probably never change due to apathy on the part of the rulesmakers, which is the same reason why the "opponent of the scoring shall designate which team will kick off" rule is still on the books in FED.
I actually don't mind the difference too much; it makes for a great illustration of the "the rules for HS and college are basically the same, but subtle changes in wording of the rule can make a big difference" conversation piece when talking to non-officials or newbie officials.
