FED rules - why not all States

In college, the schools travel around the COUNTRY to play each other - a uniform national set of rules is necessary. HS teams typically stay within their STATE so only state rules are necessary.

Colleges recruit nationally - HS teams are generally made up from only their owh pre-established district.

In college, the recruiting/scholarship rules vary by division.

In college, you may play D1 in one sport and D-something-else in the others - kinda selecting which rules apply by sport isn't it?

If you don't like the NCAA there is an alternative - the NAIA.
