A little something extra on the extra point (Video)

And that would be no good in NCAA. There's another crazy little difference for you.

Kick is called good by wing back under post and I go up with the ol #5 signal.

Are you refering to a kick that hit the Dawson Bar?

Are you sure? I think when it hit the structure mentioned by the previous poster, that was a ball hitting an object other than the goal out of bounds. Same as if it'd hit a tree. Therefore dead. Since the ball passed over the bar and did not return before becoming dead, it scores in NCAA too.

Well what is your reading of the relevant rules?

1-2-5(a):

Each goal shall consist of two white or yellow uprights extending at least 30 feet above the ground with a connecting white or yellow horizontal crossbar,

Which means that only those pieces constitute the goal.
4-1-3(a):

A live ball becomes dead and an official shall sound his whistle or declare it dead...When it goes out of bounds other than a kick that scores a field goal after touching the uprights or crossbar,

4-2-3(a):

A ball not in player possession, other than a kick that scores a field goal, is out of bounds when it touches the ground, a player, a game official or anything else that is out of bounds, or that is on or outside a boundary line.
