it can break the plane but the players can push it back into the field as long as they jump and bat it back and aren't touching the endzone grass

No, that's not right. In college you can be standing in the end zone and bat the ball to keep it in the field of play. The instant it crosses the plane of the goal line it's a touchback.

In the NFL it's different. The ball can break the plane but the player can't be standing in the end zone. It's as if the end zone was out of bounds.
