I see what you mean about the bullets. But look at this:

NCAA wording: "A legally batted ball that while both the ball and runner are in foul territory, the runner interferes with a defensive player's attempt to field a batted ball." (28 words)

Edited wording: "A legally batted ball that is over foul territory when a runner interferes with an attempt to field it." (19 words)

Only a defensive player can field a ball, so we can dispense with the obvious "a defensive player's." Now why the original stipulates that the runner has to be in foul territory is beyond me. If the ball is over foul territory, the fielder is straddling the line, and the interfering runner is on the fair side of the line, would we call the play any differently?
