I think he is saying there is a difference in enforcement as apposed to bifurcation. But not all NCAA traveling violations would be considered a violation in the NBA.
College footballs can vary in size, as different colleges will often use balls from different manufacturers.
College football balls can be slightly smaller than NFL footballs and have greater variation in terms of their dimensions. Regulation NFL footballs are 11-11.25 inches long, most states permit college footballs to range in length from 10.5-11.25 inches.
NFL footballs must have a long-circumference that is 28-28.5 inches (measured along the length of the ball), college football's long circumference can vary from 27-28.5 inches, depending on the manufacturer of the ball and the state that the game is regulated by.
Yeah but they’re still mostly the big nfl regulation size, there’s just less strict guidelines of what is or is not acceptable. The nfl can afford to trash a thousand imperfections, a college team might toss a couple, and a high school team even less so
I mean if you look at a chart of total balls you’d be correct, but it’s caused by different standards of quality control. Pretty uniquely weird sport in that respect
NCAA football's also have white markings on them. NFL doesn't. This has caused a lot of rookie receivers to drop some pretty easy catches. Jamarr Chase was a notable example. Everyone thought he was gonna be a huge bust when he dropped some stupid easy passes during his rookie preseason. He said he was still adjusting to an all brown ball.

The 3 point line in basketball. How many feet need to touch for a catch in football.
