A fair catch is still allowed in the NCAA but not the NFL. Interesting rule difference. The NCAA forbids a fair catch only after a 2nd bounce. The NFL disallows it after any bounce off of the ground.
To be legal in the NCAA you’d have to just get more than one bounce on the kick (like a squib kick). In that video it was on one bounce.

I think in the NFL there is a rule that after a "fair catch" the team is allowed a "free kick" for a FG, ...no rush, no snapping of the ball...I think that happened in the last few seasons

Yeah you right. And that's how the first 70-yard FG is likely to happen, a fair catch at the end of a half most likely scenario.
