Something is driving me crazy for which I have to find the answer. I understand that a kickoff (1)must travel ten yards for the kicking to recover it (2)the receiving team can recover the ball before the ten yards (3) a kick can be fair caught by the receing team.

This is the problem. IF a kickoff can be fair caught then why is it that on every kick that goes ten yards you have the kicking team banging into the receivers with no penalty. Now tell me why? If the ball can be fair caught that must mean that the receivers must be allowed to catch the ball. Is it because the kick can hit the ground first; although it doesn't seem to make a difference.
