In the NFL I believe after a safety, the team must punt the ball off to the other team.  Is that not so in college football? 
Notre Dame allowed a safety by Navy, but then kicked off instead of punting the ball?

What was even more funny is the commentator saying this loss finally puts ND out of BCS bowl competition..........I guess those other TWO losses didn't count?  A friggin joke man.

I believe it's a free kick in both the NFL and College, which means the team can either kick off or punt.

Yeah it is. Teams usually elect to just Punt.

Yup, because you can control a punt better than a kick off - usually.

actually in the nfl, it has to be a punt or drop kick; no tee can be used.
