D'Oh!
My bad - I need to take my time and read these things twice before I answer
This question gets nastier and nastier the more I think about it. Under NCAA rules, K99 hasn't even illegally touched it as he isn't
inbounds.
Rule 6-3-2-a
No inbounds player of the kicking team shall touch a scrimmage kick that has crossed the neutral zone before it touches an opponent. Such illegal touching is a violation that, when the ball becomes dead, gives the receiving team the privilege of taking the ball at the spot of the violation.
The only thing I could think of (and it's a real stretch) would be
Rule 3-5-2-d
Substitutes who become players must remain in the game for one play....
although I'm sure the spirit of that Rule was not meant to cover such situations as this.
