Besides, when R/B's restraining line is in their end zone, how serious is the encroachment problem? They're not defending against K/A's potential recovery. |

Oh they aren't? So when A line drives a kick off the front B lineman's leg in an attempt to recover in the end zone, we can just guess if a B player is offside or not?
My guess is NCAA has this rule for two reasons. To reduce the instances of A trying to recover in the endzone and to prevent issues with judging offside.

Whose advantage would it be for him to encroach?

Seriously? Your restraining line is behind your goal line, and you're looking at blocking?!
You know the kickoff is just going to be a dribbler. What kind of runback could you possibly get on that? |

But that's belied by the many remarks I've read here -- one even in this thread -- wherein it seems officials go out of their way to try to see to it that players don't do something stupid. What else would've been the purpose of explaining the situation to the captains as described upthread?
