I just got off the phone with CBS Sports
The man on the phone says that they clarified it with the NCAA, he even quoted the rule to me.
Their stance is that he lifted the pivot TWICE and that is why it was a travel--so that little slide that they showed the closeup on is the travel--not the spin and the shot.
I explained the Seth Davis kept saying it was a travel when he lifted his foot to shoot it, and he again explained that was not the travel, it happened before that and they did their homework.
PS-I forgot to tell him that his analysts still don't know the rule. :-)
EDIT-Actually, he even told me they had the NCAA approval/backing
