NCAA doesn't have that rule, per se, but it's a good rule of thumb to use "referee's discretion" to start the clock on the snap after a delay if there's even the remotest possibility that it will matter. Meaning - near the end of a quarter I won't start it after a DOG, but at the beginning of one, I will. Also, at any time if there are 2 consecutive DOG's, I will start it on the snap.
In any case, since it is, in NCAA, "referee's discretion", and you were the referee - then whichever way you ruled it would have been right.
