REPLY: PSU213...I agree with you that the 25-yd. option is indeed a penalty. I just don't think of it as an award of penalty yardage. Same as an awarded fair catch following KCI. It's a penalty (consequence) of the foul, but it's not an award of yardage. That's the way I view the 25-yd. option following a free kick OOB.
