Offside on a Kickoff-NCAA
 
If the kicking team is offside on a kickoff after a score does the receiving team have the option of taking the kick over or having 5 yards added to the end of the return?

Under pure NCAA rules (not accounting for any HS exceptions), the receivers can elect to take the ball 5 yards from where it went OOB, or they can elect to have the 5 yards penalized and then a rekick, or they can take the ball 35 yards from where kicked. They could decline all penalties and just take at the OOB spot but that option would RARELY be elected.

You seem to have answered a question he didn't even ask, and never answered his question at all, even a little bit.

Jim - the answer is yes.

Yep I was thinking the question concerned a kick out of bounds, which is another issue I have been dealing with this AM.
