Team A saves 5 yards on the play by committing the foul as well as getting the opportunity to replay the down.
Is that more equitable? No.

It's never going to be 100% perfect but there are going to be more circumstances where it's more equitable to penalize from the previous spot than the spot of the foul for fouls behind the NZ and when runs end behind the NZ. I work both codes and much prefer the NCAA code.
