NCAA Clock

NCAA rules.

1) Clock running. Play ends in a touchdown, but the offense holds on the play. Defense accepts the penalty. Does the clock start on the ready or the snap?

2) Clock running. Offense called for delay of game. Penalty accepted. Does the clock start on the ready or on the snap (or does it depend, and if so on what)?

2. On the snap. 3-4-3

2. It's not automatic that it will start on the snap. If team A is in a scrimmage kick formation then the clock will start on the snap (3-3-2-e-11) . If time is not a factor then 3-4-3 does not apply and the clock will pick up where it was at the time of the foul.

Is there a definition of this?

No. 2 minutes is the time that we use when we start invoking that rule, but it's not in the rules, so it's more of a judgment call. A referee would not be wrong in applying the rule earlier than that. It's put in place to prevent a team from intentionally getting delay of game fouls to continue eating up the clock. Even outside of 2 mins if they delayed a second time, I'd go on the snap for the next play. In NCAA you have the 10 second subtraction rules also. When those come into play team B can decline the subtraction and the clock will start on the snap.
