Same in Texas under NCAA - you can decline the distance markoff on ANY foul. I've seen the intentional delay of game to help the punter declined once or twice on Sundays. Never in person though.
I saw it happen a number of years ago in an NFL game between Houston and I believe Cincinnati. Kickers let the play clock run out, receivers decline the penalty. Kickers let it run out again, and are hit with a 15 yard USC call.
Interesting!! Two delays of game with no distance penalty, but an USC foul and 15 yards. K accomplishes its original intention.
Actually, as I think about this, under NF rules both the 5 yard delay and the 15 yard USC should be enforced (if you decide to hit them with the USC after the 2nd intentional delay).
