OK, whatever.

We'd have to look at what exactly those pro rules entail, as they rely on video more than high schools do to keep their jobs.

And they have the financial wherewithal to implement that. HS sports are a little more pure and because school districts play against other school districts that might not have the same resources, this is why they are not allowed. Again, I am not asking you to agree, just giving my take as to why that is. And the NF has many more constituents than the NFL or NBA for example.

But if technology is allowed, why not allow them too?

Seriously there was a shoe that claimed to give players a boost in jumping ability, many states outlawed those shoes usage. My state informed us last year and outlawed that shoe.

We are just going to have to agree to disagree on this one. And life in many industries that have rules in place to make the field level. SEC rules, court rules and zoning laws are all examples of how rules are put in place to only allow certain things to go on in life or the not give one business an advantage over another.
