So is this what they settled on for kickoffs?

Wikipedia posted:

There will be no kickoffs; all possessions will begin on each team's own 25-yard line, the same as touchbacks in the NFL and NCAA. In lieu of an onside kick, a team can keep possession of the ball by attempting a scrimmage play from their own 35-yard line and gaining at least 10 yards.

The Harbaugh thing is cool, but only needing 10 yards seems a bit short. Wouldn't there be a ~40% success rate?
