Va Tech vs. Arkansas punt play

Yes, that's what I posted from the rule book.  This is just one of the requirements.  It has to be before the kick ends as well.

Well you mentioned it has to occur before the end of the kick (which would include action prior to the kick like the old rule).  Stuff happening prior to the kick is previous spot under the rule change.

Yes, before the end of the kick but not prior to the kick actually happening.  That's covered in the first part of the rule.  Part 3 just clarifies that the foul can't be after the kick has ended.  I just typed what the rule book has.

So am I right that if this play occurs in a D3 or TX high school game (i.e. w/o Replay), the crew got it right.  Very interesting that an enforcement would be different between classifications.

Well, it doesn't really depend on classification, it depends on the availability of replay. If a D3 conference wants to use replay, they can and then rule 12 kicks in.
