===NCAA rules=== NCAA rules on fair catches are similar to NFL and NFHS rules, except it does not have the fair catch kick option, and a fair catch from a kickoff that is caught between the receiving team's goal line and its 25-yard line is a [[touchback]]. The NCAA abolished the fair catch in 1950 but reinstated it in 1951 without the fair catch kick option. In 2018, the additional touchback provision was added.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kirshner |first=Alex |date=2018-08-30 |title=Why college football’s new kickoff fair catches rule is smart |url=https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2018/8/30/17481000/ncaa-kickoff-fair-catch-rule |access-date=2023-08-02 |website=SBNation.com |language=en}}</ref>
