Bring It Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I guess there's no difference in size.http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_difference_between_a_NFL_football_and_a_NCAA_football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrake2 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I think the college ball is a tad bigger..circumference wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu 7 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 As far as size is concerned I think they are the same.One pretty significant difference is that in the NFL they have to use new balls for every game.In college I don't believe that is the case.Brand new footballs tend to be slicker.

Falcons Ace Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 College footballs are slightly wider in the middle and slightly shorter in length, though not by much compared to an official NFL sized football. The biggest difference is simply the width of the middle, thus actually making it "bigger" than an NFL football. It's not too big a difference unless you already have a hard time holding an NFL football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
