Could this become the subject of an episode of "Mythbusters?"

CANADIAN RULING:

Legal. Team B can move as soon as the snap begins.

However, we have a 1-yard neutral zone, so this is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to do.

That means he can still hit the snapper's hand, so the snap is still not exactly a free pass in NCAA.

That's like trying to catch the dollar bill with your fingers while someone drops it between them when you don't know when.

The limits of hand/eye coordination...
