NCAA Discussion / Re: Batting test question

GA, as Kalle points out, NCAA is very different than NFHS. All legal in A. Intentional Grounding in B, with B having the option to accept an ‘artificial’ result of the down, instead of accepting a safety (or they can take the safety - their choice). I say ‘artificial,’ because, by rule, when an illegal forward pass falls incomplete, the ball belongs to the passing team at the spot of the pass (not the previous spot). But, there is an exception when the pass is made from the end zone. Team B can accept, essentially, an incomplete pass, i.e., ball spotted at the previous spot, next down. In this case, since it had been 4th down, that results in Team B being awarded the ball at the previous spot, first down.
A) Legal forward pass, the player who controlled the snap is outside the tackle box and the pass lands beyond the neutral zone. Team B 1/10 A-2 (right hash), snap, 25.
Kalle, for Team B, would that be the right hash? Or the left hash? 😁. (Sorry. Just being a wise guy. Couldn’t help myself.)
B) Illegal forward pass, the player who controlled the snap is not and has not been outside the tackle box. Safety. Team A FK A-20. PC 25. If team B declines the penalty, see A).
Not up on NCAA rules, but under NFHS rules, in both cases, it is an illegal forward pass with the enforcement spot from the spot of the pass resulting in a safety.
