I am rather amazed that the NFHS does not make their rulebooks available online.

I mean really - get with the new century already.

Yeah, that would be a good thing. I usually print out the PDF in take it to Office Max and let them bind it.

They are on line. You have to "join" at the NFHS site to see them.

Still silly. Make them publicly available, like the NCAA does.The rules are not a secret are they?

The NFHS receives a greater percentage of their income from books than does the NCAA.

That is probably the understatement of the week. I'd bet the NCAA's revenue from books is effectively zero compared to their total revenue where the NFHS revenue is largely from the books.

That said, I think they should go to a biannual schedule for all books and just raise the price a $1-2 dollars (or whatever it would take to make of for the lost profit for a year's worth of books...which would be far less than the total cost of the book since they'd save on a year's worth of production and distribution costs).

That seems like a safe bet, since the NCAA publishes their rules online for free :P

I get that the NFHS uses the sale of books as an income stream, I just think it is a pretty poor way to go about making money, since it relies on a grossly outdated informational model that does not apply in today's world, and *should not* apply when it comes to something like making information about the rules as widely available as possible.
