Rules Q: Who determines if the free kick following a safety comes from a tee or is punted?

I've seen college teams do both, and wondered why we didn't kick from the tee against Arkansas rather than the punt.

Option of the team doing the kicking.

Kicking team gets the choice. Tressel always punts for the hangtime, because if you kick you kick it from further back...more danger of a returnable line drive.

But if you have a kicker with a hell of a leg, you usually take it off the tee.
