That's well underway. It's already banned in 6 states. Many many others ban it on a league by league level. They're working on fixing it nationwide.....

These are only rumors, but the rumor-mill is that the high school football federation rules — which govern most but not all states (the others use NCAA-like rules) — have settled on changing the rule governing the “scrimmage kick exception” to conform with NCAA rules. […] It would mean that the A-11 offense, as currently used with extra eligible jersey wearing players lined up behind the line who then step up onto the line before the snap to disguise who is and who is not eligible, would be illegal in nearly every state and every level of football.

The word further is that this has not made the A-11’s creators, Kurt Bryan and Steve Humphries, very happy. Their proposal so far has been to encourage individual schools who want to run the A-11 to break off from their state football leagues (making them ineligible for state playoffs) and form a kind of national, A-11 compatible league. The details of such a proposal are manifold, but teams from different states often play each other, but they agree on the rules in advance (for example, cut blocking is illegal in many states but legal in Texas and some others).
