From the NCAA Rule Book:

"If the landing pad does not extend to the area immediately around the vaulting box, a collar of 5 to 10 cemtimeters of padding of uniform thickness shall cover the area behind and to the sides of the vaulting box that are not protected by the landing pad. Such padding shall be semi-permanent and shall not affect the bend of the pole."
