The guy organizing this is a former NFL punter and part of the reason he does it is to show how hard it actually is to kick a 33 yard field goal. The whole point is that it looks easy and college kids step up to fail miserably.
In Australian rules football even our under 16s kids can kick 30m goals, using a similar profile ball. I guess that's why we export so many punters to the US.
I haven’t, I just know which one’s easier from experience. Kicking off a tee requires more aim, you have to time the kick, and you can’t get under the ball as much whereas punting it allows you to drop and kick the ball when you want, you’re dropping the ball directly over your foot requiring little aim, and you can very easily get your foot directly under the ball.
