From the NCAA rulebook--Appendix III-Officiating Guidelines:
-Guidelines for calling the intentional personal foul are:
(a) any personal foul that is not a legitimate attempt to directly play the ball or player is an intentional personal foul.
(d) grabbing, holding or pushing a player away from the ball is an intentional personal foul.
The rules certainly support the grabbing of a shirt as
always being an intentional personal foul. In real life though.......
