The NCAA changed the rules after the 1978 season - before that a kicker could keep an old roughed-up ball to use when he kicked, after that the NCAA started supplying NEW footballs for use in all games - and required the kickers to use those. These records are likely to stand for some time.
The all time college record:
69 yards Ove Johansson, Abilene Christian (W 17-0) v East Texas St., 10/16/1976 (2" tee) Shotwell Stadium, Abilene.
