Theisey,
Thanks for your comments. I agree with you that I went too deep in this case but ¿could you explain why the rule makers specifically establish in the interpretation approved rule 8-3-2-III and in rule 3-1-3-e-4, 5, that the form to advance the ball after recovering a blocked extra point or field goal kick attempt is by running?
Ive already send this case to the NCAA rules makers through Mr.Deitch Scott who is the NCAA staff liaison to the NCAA Football Rules Committee and Im waiting for the response. I let you know when I receive the answer.

You have been very meticulous in picking this case play apart. If anything, the only thing I beleive is missing is a play classification that we should call "Busted Play".
I really think you have read too much into these play defintions and do not have enough faith in what you have read in the detailed rules section. That being, nothing is said there to prohibit this situation and therefore it is legal.
I'm not going to convince you and I'm not too sure anyone else can except for Mr Adams.
Your best bet to convince youself or to bring about a clarification is to send this play summary to John Adams.
You can find out the details on how to do this on page 10 in the 2001 NCAA Football Rules book.
He will respond, good luck.
