I've officiated football for over 30 years, now in my 26th on the college level. I've worked NCAA playoffs at the Division II and III level. In addition, I've coached at the scholastic level and have been an educator for over 35 years. I have no interest whatsoever in being an NFL official! Ever!

My feelings about the stupidity of the look aside, my guess is that it is legal. A horsecollar is when the inside of the shoulder pads is grabbed. A number of years ago, I saw a college player's dreds grabbed and pulled out. No foul. On a side note, he said that on a scale of 1 to 10, the hair removal was an eleven.
If I'm understanding correctly what you're saying, you have an illegal touch by the kicking team ('touched the ball in mid air on a bounce but never possessed it."). The receiving team has the right to take the ball at that spot. Which they did. I think they got that right.
No. This was asked recently. Kicker is the only player who can be in advance of the line.

Why don't school buses have seat belts?
Yes. Officials are "part of the field". Same as if a player tipped it and it went through. But that's gotta sting!
A lot depends on your location. Once upon a time, you didn't become a college official unless you had a good number of years (5-10) of working high school. Today, it's not that difficult t get seen, although it may cost you some money. There are a number of clinics that you pay to attend and get trained; you can Google that. They are run by individuals who have their connections (to the NFL and P5 conferences) and can get you "seen". You could also contact a local D3 or D2 college and ask the AD who assigns his games and try going through that person or group. I'm also guessing from your info that you're in your mid 30's - that's not a bad age to start but when I started in college at 37, I had ten years of HS ball. I hope this helps; good luck.
No. This keeps coming up. Why?
