Kicking tee

[Sean Berry]

Texas still uses the NCAA rule book for football....

I cannot find it, but will someone show me the rule (in the NCAA rulebook) that states a kicking tee MUST be used on a kick off. 

Also, is there a place to download the rule book. I like paper. I have not found a 2020 version yet...however I have a 2019 version. I guess for HS the changes won't effect us.

Thanks,

Just so you are aware, I used Ctrl-F to search all 59 times "tee" shows up in the rule book.

Article 4(b) states: A free kick place kick by a player of the team in possession while the ball is positioned on a tee or the ground.

I don't see anything there that says a tee must be used.

This is a good question, I don't think a tee is required.
