Somebody please correct me if I'm missing something somewhere.

You are completely correct. All we do is decide what we are going to call at the NF level. The College level wants these plays out of the game completely and has mandated it under the rules. I do not think high school players are as savvy as college players. High school players do many things without thought. College players tend to be much more deliberate and calculating, which is why I feel the rules are different.
