I'm surprised everyone aren't doing it (yet).

I'm more concerned about the lack of corrective action to get the Bethune-Cookman kickoff team legal. Granted, the half step wasn't much of an advantage, but the apparent deliberate subversion of the rule with no apparent attempt at corrective action is a disservice to officials in the rest of the country (world?).

I am glad to say I stand corrected. The game officials did, in fact, penalize B-C for illegal formations on the K/Os. More than once. B-C just didn't seem to get it, or chose to ignore. To the on-field guys - good job!
