I also asked this question on an NCAA discussion board and was told the same - blowing the whistle would have negated the ability to overturn by replay.
As an avid opponent of replay, I think this is yet another reason to do away with it. By allowing the play to continue, there is unnecessary exposure to possible injury (yes I know there is possibility for injury on *every* play) and also it forces an official to be hesitant and second guess himself about his call. I would much prefer for the play to be instantly killed...
...but then again who asked me, I'm just a lowly high school official.
