Illegal?

NCAA Rules.

We all know that the offense can't do anything to make the defense think the snap is not imminent, and then snap the ball.

But what about the kicking team.

NCAA, I think I'd flag this as UNS and let the play roll.

Just another variation of the "barking dog" play. Patently illegal.

I see the similarity too, that's why I posted it.

But there is no offense, and there is no snap. By what rule do we call this illegal?

This is no different that the basketball video of the player throwing her shoe at a try. It's not specified in the book, but it's most certainly is Unsporting Conduct.

Easy Flag, easier explanation.

Anyone know what "throwing her eat a try" means?
