I'm hopeful this means Texas goes back to same year NCAA rules.

Well, what does Texas (or MA) currently do on a free kick with the play clock now? You probably wait for all the officials to signal (arm up) that they are ready and then the R blows the RFP.
I don't see any reason for the two states to not make an exception to this rule just as they do for many other rules. I'm sure TX/MA is not going to move the free kick to the 30. They'll stay where they are today as one of their exceptions.
I like this change at the NCAA level. The officials should be ready as soon as they get to their spot. No need to wait for all that arm signaling up and down the field.
