Correct my interpretation was FED, not NCAA. I wouldn't either for just any contact, but I specified forcible, and forcible contact against a player without a helmet who is not participating (making himself clearly out of the play) could be considered flagrant, and I probably would. Nothing is spelled out by rule though for this situation, so it's a judgment call. Personally, I would err on the side of safety. You're right though, contact like a standard block using their hands on the helmetless player shouldn't be grounds for DQ and maybe should just be a "talking to."
