Also, from the NCAA rulebook: Rule 4, Section 1, Airborne shooter:
Quote:
Art. 1. An airborne shooter is in the act of shooting.
Art 2. An airborne shooter is a player who has released the ball on a try for goal until one foot has returned to the floor.

The part that is "women only" is that for women, the definition of a player control foul includes a foul by an airborne shooter; while for the men, the definition of player control foul does NOT include a foul by an airborne shooter. Rule 4, Section 26 Foul
Quote:
Art 8. Player control foul. A player-control foul is a common foul committed:- (Men) By a player when he is in control of the ball.
- (Women) By a player when she is in control of the ball or by an airborne shooter.

So there is an airborne shooter rule and definition. It is part of the player control foul rule for women, not for men. The little chart says "no rule" for brevity, but shouldn't be taken literally.
