A kick off is a free ball. Period
There are still rules in place against hitting the receivers. Why do you think the kicking team can no longer just clean out the receiving team on onside kicks?
The only difference between a kick and a punt is the kicking team can recover the ball without the receiving team touching it I think.

Since it wasn't a punt that rule is out the window. It's a free ball there is no rule for giving the receiver space on a kick off.
Well, that just not true. The rule is the same for punts and kick-offs.

Skippy, you might not know Rogers Redding prepares a video of rule changes, fouls, rulings, good calls, missed calls, etc for the preseason officiating clinics. This play was used as an example of KCI.
No KCI since it was not a punt.
Know the whole story before jumping to conclusions.

Lets see, we have LSU fans taking up for MSU and AU fans taking up for Bama. WTF is going on here?

Assuming a football player with decent speed can achieve 20 mph, that player will cover about 10 yards per second while running at full speed (1780 yards in a mile, times 20, divided by 60 for minutes, divided by 60 again for seconds). Considering that Christion Jones is a WR, and was running at close to full speed at the time of collision, he would have covered that yard in about a tenth of a second - which is precisely what happened and easily legal
This would all be just fantastic info if there wasn't a picture, and a video, that both prove Jones was within one yard when the ball was touched.

You should take your own advice.

Is it?
I always thought that there is no kick catch interference for non fair catches on kick offs...

You need to go read the rules. The KCI rule even applies to bounced kick-offs.

They changed it a couple of years ago to protect the receiving team on onside kicks.

I agree. Onside kicks used to be awesome.

You need to read the rules again. Even without a fair catch the returner has a right to make the catch cleanly.
You need to read your own fricking links. Show us where in the rules interpretation it says "catch it cleanly".
It doesn't. That's fricking bullshite. What it says is, " A88 times his approach so that he and the ball arrive at approximately the same time. " Now you and State fans can whine about what constitutes "approximately", but it sure as hell doesn't say "catch it cleanly".

Should've called the fair catch.
I wouldn't ask the train why it hit me if I'm walking the tracks...

Really?
"Foul for interference with B44's opportunity to catch the kick."
What exactly would you say they mean by this? To anyone with reading comprehension above a 3rd grade level that's just a different wording of the phrase "Receiver not allowed to catch it cleanly".

" A88 times his approach so that he and the ball arrive at approximately the same time
You should also note that it says this is still kick catch interference.

Jesus fricking christ, what is it with dumbasses who tell people to read the rule book but have no fricking clue what it says?
"b. It is an interference foul if, before the receiver touches the ball, a Team
A player enters the area defined by the width of the receiver’s shoulders
and extending one yard in front of him. When in question it is a foul.(A.R.
6-4-1-X-XIII)
c. This protection terminates when the kick touches the ground (Exception:
Free kick, par. f below), when any player of Team B muffs or touches a
scrimmage kick beyond the neutral zone, or when any player of Team
B muffs or touches a free kick in the field of play or in the end zone
(Exception: Rule 6-5-1-b) (A.R. 6-4-1-IV). "
