NCAA says that the runner may not slide in the direction of the fielder. If the runner slides on the same side of the base as the fielder considered by the NCAA "in the direction"? No contact, no altering the play of the fielder, just slide next to the base but on the same side as the fielder.

You quoted the rule. Note that this portion of the rule doesn't include "and makes contact or alters the play". So, this is interference and two are out.

NCAA changed the wording you quote from previous years.
As you may already know, anytime the runner makes an illegal slide you've got a guaranteed arguement if you don't call out two.
What is the "official" position of the NCAA on the interp.?
