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.


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.

To me the not down rule was a way to increase scoring without being so opaque.
