No there is not. It's just the NCAA has an addition to the numbering exception that states it must be obvious a kick is going to be attempted. I would think that it is somewhat obvious when this offense comes out on it's first play it is NOT going to kick. Broken plays or fakes are one thing, but this is clearly planned to not be a kick over and over again.
As for Fed, right now it's legal. If there is a change made, well we'll just have to wait & see. In the meantime, the coach can continue to market it & hopefully make some money. Although I'm not sure why anyone would pay when it's pretty easy to figure it out for oneself.
