Question 1 - Is it different under NCAA?

Yes it is different under NCAA rules. If he is first to touch it, he has commited illegal touching. Similar to the NFL rule.

Question 2 - Are there others that find this way too server for a player that is trying to make a play?

Yes, but that is how the NF wants it.
