Team Control - Throw In Extension to Court?

If the NFHS and NCAA intent are the same, someone should collaborate a hybrid rulebook where the superior (NCAA?) language is used.

You have to keep in mind a couple of things. The NF makes a big chunk of their money off of sales of rulebooks and other publications. And they are not going to give up their rights to anyone that could take that away. And because of that I think the NF is afraid to take on their language as if to give up their perceived power over their rules. It is like a bill that is written in the House of Representatives looks nothing like the one the Senate may approve in our government. Too many egos and interests to just accept what others might have done better.

The difference is (without getting political), the house and senate have to pass identical bills before the president can sign it. That's what the conference committee is for.

And thus endeth today's civics lesson.

I didn't mean the NFHS should adopt NCAA, I meant a private party (you or me for example) could create a document that replaces NFHS language with the superior NCAA language in those rules where the intent is the same.
