The umpire still has that responsibility... although it's admittedly difficult on longer field goal attempts.
Having the U under the upright for all FG attempts is new this year... prior to 2009, the U is under the upright if the kick was from inside the 15... if the kick is from outside the 15, only the BJ was under the upright. (Unless it was a "game-deciding attempt"). We changed this year to make the positioning simpler and more consistent (some crews had the U under the upright on all attempts prior to 2009).
