Rule 7.1.2 clearly states "the snapper may lift the ball. . . (but may not rotate it end-for-end or change location) or fail to keep the long axis [parallel to] the line of scrimmage."
--Clearly this means that the snapper may lift the ball to make an adjustment
If a snapper may not change location of the ball, how could he possibly lift it off the ground without changing its location? As soon as its in the air the location has changed from the ground to "not on the ground". I feel its a snap infraction.
