WMB - in NCAA, even with a real fence - whether homer or in foul territory, if the player leaps from the playing field, catches it over DBT, and lands in DBT, it is not a catch.
Interestingly, in a Torii Hunteresque homer-save play in NCAA, by RULE, it is not a catch if the ball has already crossed the boundary... but it's just so impossible to see this for sure that custom has you ruling a homer on this when the player comes back down in live ball territory.
ASA, I too have an out in all circumstances as long as she's not already contacted DBT before the catch.
