In NCAA and it is new for this year.

Rule 12.10.12 and 7.1.1.2.5.a

If a runner misses home plate and the fielder misses or makes no attempt to tag the runner, the umpire should
make no signal, verbal or nonverbal.

Rationale: By requiring the umpire to make the safe signal, it could be confusing to the offense and they would
have no reason to think they missed home plate. By the umpire making no signal, it notifies both the offense and
defense that something more needs to occur before a ruling can be made.
