What rulebook do you want the documentation.
As far as I know for the NFL, you are right.
For NCAA and NFHS rules (college and high school), you are wrong. So you owe your friend two thirds of $5.00.
NFHS rules... Rule 8 Section 5 Article 3... It is a tochback when: Any free kick or scrimmage kick:
1. Which is not a scoring attempt or which is a grounded three point field-goal attempt, breaks the plane of R's goal line unless R chooses a spot of first touching by K.
Also by Rule 4 Section 2 Article 2 .. The ball becomes dead and the down is ended:
1. Which is not a scoring attempt or which is a grounded three point field-goal attempt, breaks the plane of R's goal line
NCAA rules...
Loose Behind the Goal Line
ARTICLE 11. If a Team A player bats a scrimmage kick in Team B’s end zone that was untouched by Team B after the kick crossed the neutral zone, it is a violation. Team B may elect a touchback when the ball is declared dead (A.R. 6-3-11-I). VIOLATION—Touchback [S16 and S7] (Exception:
Rule 8-4-2-b) (A.R. 2-11-1-I).
