Question

I have been wondering about this for years - My understanding of the rules governing a kick off is that it can be recovered by either team once it has gone 10 yards. Only the receiving team can advance the ball, but the kicking team can recover it. So why doesn't the kicking team fall on the ball and take over possession on a kick off when the receiving team merely watches the ball roll (hopefully to the end zone for a touchback)?
