Good dialogue here. I thought the NCAA would at least have an answer to the double foul anomaly that FED has. In situation A team B can gain an advantage by fouling which is bad. This would be a great rules change if anybody had a good answer to this.

In A the ball goes back to the previous spot and A loses all those yards whereas in situation B it's snapped after marking off A's foul and A doesn't lose anything but their own penalty yards.

Thank you! I kept thinking the same thing as I was reading all the replies. B actually benefits on this play by commiting a penalty. Now we all know no one is smart enough to do this during a game, but it is still a flaw in the rules.
