What is the difference between intentional grounding and throwing away the ball in football?
Intentional grounding in football occurs when a quarterback throws the ball to avoid a sack without a receiver nearby, resulting in a penalty. Throwing away the ball is when a quarterback intentionally throws the ball out of bounds to avoid a sack or incomplete pass, which is allowed as long as it crosses the line of scrimmage.

What is intentional grounding in college football?
Yes, and being outside the tackles and throwing it passed the line of scrimmage does not matter. Can't throw the ball away in high school. There has to be a receiver in the area. Or throw the ball backwards out of bounds for a loss.

Why is spiking the football to stop the clock not the same as Intentional grounding to avoid a sack?
The QB is trying to avoid losing yardage. Spiking the ball you don't lose yards. ---- I don't remember the exact year the rules were modified to allow spiking the football to stop the clock but the modification was made to allow teams a better chance to score at the end of a half/game when they are out of timeouts. The difference in the spiking vs. intentional grounding rule is the quarterback, when spiking, must take the snap from center and immediately spike the ball into the ground. The rule determines that the quarterback is doing this to stop the clock as opposed to the intentional grounding rule where the quarterback is throwing the ball to an area where there are no eligible receivers for the sole purpose of not losing yardage by being sacked. == == Because the intent of the play is not to unfairly deprive the defense of an opportunity -- it's merely to stop the clock. Keep in mind, too, that spiking the ball essentially carries its own self-imposed penalty, since it causes the offense to burn a down.
