Poor choice in words on my part. Hitting the ball in NCAA before it leaves the snappers hands is offside. You are correct that when the snap begins a player may enter the NZ, but not slap the ball while it's in the process of being snapped.

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