Philosophical discussion - should NF and NCAA rules be the same?

[Texas Aggie]

20 years ago, the rules weren't really that different. Timing, of course, and a few others. Now, the NCAA committees have made a lot of changes in recent history and the codes are much more messed up in my view.

If HS is going to go NCAA, which code are they going -- men's or women's? And why? HS associations would end up editing either code anyway, so what's the point? Jr. Highs aren't going to play 20 minute halves.

I work football in Texas where we use NCAA rules, and I'd never want to work Fed rules for several reasons. It works well for us as the codes can be very different in some cases. In basketball, the different codes don't make the game change much.
