I've watched 4 college games on TV this season and all 4 of them had at least one player with an obviously dark tinted shield. Why are the college guys allowed to get away with it? This is why the high school coaches throw such a fit when we try and enforce it at the high school level!!!

The college guys don’t get away with it. The NCAA will give permission for a player to wear a tinted shield. But the player and the school have to jump through some hoops to get permission to use it.
Two different sets of rules and a different philosophy to the game. One thing to remember is that the NFHS rules are written mostly by administrators. Coaches write the NCAA rules. The two groups take a different approach to the game.
