Why don't the two use the same set of rules? For example, being able to catch the ball, fall on the ground, get up and run in the NFL vs catching the ball, falling, and being ruled down in the NCAA.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have the same rules between leagues?

College and pro baseball don't have the same rules.
College and pro basketball don't have the same rules.

Why would football be any different?

They are two different games. College is closer to high school than it is NFL.

I think the NCAA gets it right.... if you're down, you're down... there should be no getting up and running. It creates a lot of confusion and error from officials... it used to be worse before replay, but still... if a guy goes down, IMO he should be down.

I've been arguing for unified codes for years now.

Won't fly on this site for a number of reasons.
