You can't do it in the NFL. So I assume college is doing something similar. If the clap is used to simulate a snap, then it would be a false start.

It's not clapping that's illegal, as I understand it. It's "abrupt" and "jerky" motion that simulates a snap. You don't want QBs moving suddenly as if they're taking the snap. QBs clap all the time to try to keep defenses from timing the snap.

All Stockton did was clap. The argument was his clap was a little big. But if that was a penalty then you could basically flag the offense anytime the defense jumps offsides.
