I understand from a similar discussion on eteamz that the NCAA mechanic is to signal nothing until either the runner touches the base or the fielder tags the runner, and then make the call according to safe or out. (I don't do NCAA so my information is from that thread - fair warning.)

Several of the people in that discussion preferred the NCAA mechanic, since they believed the ASA mechanic of a slight hesitation + safe signal gave the offense a false sense of security - and thereby tips the balance toward the defense.
