New kickoff rule

[Texas Aggie]

I have not called this once in games under NCAA rules where its been forever. I think its a live ball foul like offsides (in NCAA), but I'd have to check. Generally, on long kickoffs, you should pretty much ignore it anyway. Tell the coach to get it fixed and maybe flag it if they keep doing it. For short kickoffs and onsides you need to strictly enforce it.

I think they changed our mechanic in Texas to where the R, either at the pylon or in the center of the field, depending on how many officials and what mechanic choice the crew makes, makes the call.
