    I believe it is still legal.

    I don't remember ever seeing one personally.

    Still legal and worth 3pts.

    NCAA Rules:

    Section 15

    Drop Kick
    ARTICLE 3. A drop kick is a kick by a player who drops the ball and kicks
    it as it touches the ground.

    Field Goal Attempt
    ARTICLE 9. A field goal attempt is a scrimmage kick. It may be a place
    kick or drop kick.

    Jif was probably listening on radio when the previous NFL drop kick was made:
    This was the last one in the NCAA
