Ah, there it is. I knew it felt wrong:

NCAA 6-2-1: A free kick out of bounds untouched inbounds by a player of team B is a foul.

Add in that a player is "inbounds" until he's "out of bounds", so the airborne player is inbounds when he touches the ball, because he is not yet "out of bounds". So the ball is out of bounds where the player takes it, but it's not a foul because it doesn't meet the standard of the above rule.

This also explains why it's a foul if the kicking team does the same thing - in that case, it DOES meet the standard of the rule, in that it was not touched inbounds by a player of team B.
