How can you be so sure about what "people" know and are "talking about"? Threads here may be read years later by readers who hit it in a search of the Web and know nothing about whether Fed's or NCAA's or anyone else's rules are being discussed.

And based on previous posts from the person posting, he is not from Texas (Massachusetts, which my understanding are the only two states the NCAA Rules apply).

Best get out of the mindset that we're answering just the original poster's question, and consider that we're writing for the whole Internet.

Well it is obvious that I was correct as it related to the original post and what rules he was under.

Secondly I think if you want to write for “the entire internet,” then say that is what your answer is based on. Other than that most people try to stay within the topic that is being discussed. Nothing wrong with referencing other levels (I do it often), but most people here are not referring to NCAA Rules when discussing things they see in a game. And we usually know who the people are from Texas and they clarify they are not using NF rules.
