It was an interpretation change or clarification backed by video just like any other interpretation from the NCAA.
I think the video makes the play easier. It is required for NCAA officials to watch the videos. So I do not see the issue here at all. They have justification for not call a foul where before you might not have had that clarification. And officials would try not to call the egregious ones before that anyway.
