What is the enforcement?
I believe that, if B accepts the penalty, the score is negated, and the 15 yard penalty is assessed from the 40 yard line resulting in 1st and 15 from the 45 and the clock starting on the snap.
Is this correct? And any references would be appreciated.
I work the National Federation Rule set, but would be interested in any other rule sets as well.
Thank you
Enforce as you would any other foul. If the ball is beyond the LOS, at their own 40 when someone fouls at the 35, where do you enforce from.

Brutal? Yeah, in this case... but I guarantee that kid won't commit an unnecessary foul 40 yards behind the play again.
