My point is that this statement is not factually accurate when it comes to NCAA. It IS legal to give the receiver a "chuck" to knock them off their route as long as the previous exceptions I mentioned do not apply. The receiver crossing in front of the LB is vulnerable to the "chuck" as he is typically a yard or more in front of the defender.
