Unless it rolls into the end zone after hitting the ground, in which case they get it at the 20. But yes, you can no longer fair catch the ball, especially not when you're outside of the end zone. I still couldn't believe it when I saw guys fair catch the ball at the 5 yard line and then they get it at the 25. That made no sense to me.
